Sermon: Saul's Torment, David's Touch

1 SAMUEL 16:14-23

We find King Saul is in a bad position, a harmful one, and worse of all maybe, it's spiritual. It's from God. We see that the judgment of God has fallen on Saul and with it, Saul's torment is realized. And yet in the same passage we see David, like a cool breeze, with the strum of the harp like angels, anointed and blessed by God, and with the coming of David comes the favor of God. Where Saul is tormented, he meets David's touch, and we see something of Jesus for us in both contrasts.
