How do you react when you don’t get rewarded for good work? (88-3)
Every leader has a will and emotions. Unless their will and emotions are committed to the glory of God every day even great leaders can lose perspective from time to time. Read 1 Samuel 25.
In yesterday’s study, we saw David demonstrate great humility, trust in God, discernment of God’s will and personal restraint when he spared King Saul’s life. God received glory because of David’s actions and even Saul, who lived in a dark world of fear, hatred and anger, repented of his ungodly actions. In today’s study, the same God-appointed leader allows his emotions to bring him to the brink of disaster when he is ready to murder another Israelite and his family for offending him through unfair treatment of his men.
