“God Sustains the Fugitive”

“Leave Justice in God’s Hands”

Chapters 24-25, show David being wronged, provoked, and tested—but refusing to take revenge into his own hands. The simple truth is this: just because you have the opportunity to act does not mean you have the right to act. The sharper truth is this: many people justify wrong actions because they feel righted by the situation—but God still requires restraint and trust.

“God Sustains the Fugitive”

1 Samuel chapters 22-23 show David fully on the run, yet not abandoned. He is rejected by the system, hunted by the king, and forced into survival mode—but God continues to guide him, protect him, and preserve his purpose. The simple truth is this: God’s presence does not always remove pressure, but it does sustain purpose. The sharper truth is this: many people assume if God is with you, life should stabilize—but in David’s case, obedience actually keeps him in danger.

“God’s Chosen Must Learn to Suffer”

These chapters show David moving from danger into exile. The friendship with Jonathan deepens, Saul’s hatred becomes impossible to deny, and David begins living as a hunted man. The simple lesson is this: being chosen by God does not mean life becomes easy. Sometimes God’s chosen servant must walk through rejection, sorrow, and uncertainty before the promise comes fully into view. The sharp truth is this: many people want God’s calling, but not the pain that often comes with it. Welcome to EveryDayWord — the daily podcast of the Derrick J. Dawkins Evangelistic Association!

“The Lord’s Chosen Will Be Opposed”

1 Samuel 17-19, show David rising into public view, but they also show that God’s chosen servant will not be welcomed by everyone. David trusts God and defeats Goliath. David serves well and succeeds. David wins love from many people. But Saul becomes jealous, fearful, and hostile. The simple lesson is this: when God’s hand is on a person, that person may be blessed and opposed at the same time. God’s favor does not remove conflict. It often exposes hearts.

“Rejected and Chosen”

1 Samuel 15–16 is one of the great turning points in Scripture. These chapters show Saul being rejected as king because of disobedience and David being chosen because God sees the heart. The message is unmistakable: outward position, public image, and religious language cannot replace wholehearted obedience to God. God is not impressed by appearance without surrender. He rejects rebellion, and he raises up the one whose heart is toward him. Welcome to EveryDayWord — the daily podcast of the Derrick J. Dawkins Evangelistic Association!
