Jealousy Redeemed
David’s defeat of Goliath quickly became “national news.” Saul brought David into his home, gave him positions of leadership, and David quickly found favor with people. At the same time, he began to lose favor with Saul. Chapter 18 marks a change in Saul as his jealousy and paranoia increasingly controls his heart and mind rather than the spirit of God. Henry Drummond, an eighteenth-century Scottish evangelist, said, “Only one thing need the Christian truly envy, the large, rich, generous soul which envieth not.”

> 3\. What was the ultimate result of Saul’s sinful jealousy? (1 Samuel 18:30) How should we pray, then, for God to redeem the times we have acted in jealousy? How should we pray for ourselves going forward?
