God's Method of Doing Things. (1 Sam 19: 1-24)

Send us a text

When we read the Scriptures with any seriousness, we quickly discover that God not only has a purpose—He also has methods. His purposes never fail, but His methods often surprise us.

Sometimes He works through miracles, sometimes through providence, sometimes through judgment, sometimes through mercy. Yet if you watch the biblical story unfold long enough, you see one particular throughline that appears again and again: In that, God accomplishes His purposes through people—ordinary, flawed, faithful people.

1 Samuel 19 gives us one of the clearest pictures of that truth. In this chapter, we watch God preserve David—the man He has chosen as Israel’s next king through relationships, loyalties, conversations, and timely interventions. God weaves His sovereign purpose through very many and varied threads, but all intensely human.
