Whatever
mission Saul sent him on, David was so successful that Saul gave him a
high rank in the army. This pleased all the troops, and Saul’s officers
as well.
When
the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the
women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with
singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres. As they danced, they sang:
“Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands.”
Saul
was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have
credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only
thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?” And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.
My
brothers and sisters in Christ please do not compare what God is doing
in others to what He is doing in you. Saul felt David as a threat
because the people praised David's accomplishments in war which
outweighed Saul's victories. Sometimes others may be better at things
than we are but, God does not require us to be the best, all He wants is
for us to do our best. So when you feel like you are in second place
ask yourself, what does Jesus think of my works?

Many of us are familiar with the story of David and
Goliath however the life of David and how the Lord used him, is a
testament to who Jesus is. Where's David, is a call for believers to
share the gospel of the Lord with others, to strengthen each other
through the word, and encourage each other through testimony.
