Day 6: Enter the Inevitable Conflict:
The conflict between King Saul and David serves as a poignant example of the inevitability of conflict and the importance of responding to it with faith and courage. In 1 Samuel 18, we witness the genesis of the conflict between Saul and David when the people praise David's victories in battle, causing King Saul to become envious and resentful.

This conflict highlights the reality that, as followers of God, we will inevitably encounter opposition and resistance in our journey. However, how we respond to this conflict is crucial. Saul represents the mindset of resistance and stagnation, clinging to his position of power and refusing to embrace the new thing God desires to do through David.

On the other hand, David exemplifies a spirit of courage, faith, and obedience. Despite facing the hostility of Saul, David remains steadfast in his trust in God's plan for his life. He refuses to be intimidated by Saul's threats and continues to walk with integrity and humility.

As we reflect on the conflict between Saul and David, we are challenged to examine our response to conflict and change within the church and our personal lives. Are we like Saul, clinging to the status quo and resisting the new things that God desires to do? Or are we like David, embracing God's plan with faith and courage, even in the face of opposition?

Ultimately, the story of Saul and David reminds us that God is sovereign over all conflicts and challenges we face. He can work all things together for our good and His glory if we remain faithful and obedient to His leading. Let us, therefore, be courageous and bold like David, trusting in God's unfailing promises and walking in obedience to His will, even in conflict and uncertainty.
