I Samuel 29

I. The Lord keeps David in the grip of His grace to deliver.
-II Cor. 4:7-15

II. The Lord displays His absolute authority using the enemy as agents of deliverance.
-Two ironies
1. David is defended by the man he has deceived and objects to the deliverance he is receiving.
-Davis " The deceived defends his deceiver, and the relieved disputes his relief."
2. The agents of deliverance for David will be the agents of death for Saul.
-Prov. 21:1, Ezra 6:22
-One sad contrast
1. David has been given deliverance and leaves in the light. Saul has been given the promise of death and leaves in the darkness.

III. The Lord is worthy of all our trust.
-Ps. 18
-Rom. 11:30-36
