David was successful in all that Saul gave him to do. Rather than gratitude, Saul was jealous, especially as people began to take notice of David's victories. Are we also provoked to envy in our lives? How did David respond to Saul's envy and anger, and what might we learn about how to respond to those who oppose us?

For Reflection:
"Saul kept a jealous eye on David" but David continued to serve faithfully.
- Have you ever experienced a jealous rivalry with someone close to you? What happened?
- What questions does David's example raise for you? What do you think might have been the reasons he continued to serve Saul faithfully, even if from a distance?
- Jesus said to "love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!" (Matt 5:44). How might you pray for such a person in your life today?
