David is a universal model for faithful perseverance in devotion and obedience to God.
Saul had many gifts, but lacked the one necessary thing: fear of God. We also need it if we want to maintain our peace and trust in God.
Just as the created world is full of order and one thing depends on another, God has created angels who serve Him in many ways. And He has provided each person with a guardian angel to protect him on earth and lead him to heaven.
Use of talents and accomplishments and all things we do with our time, including leisure, should bring us closer to God.
Zeal is a signature mark of belonging to Christ, but it must be tempered by faith.
