Who's the boss?

Today, we are reading 1 Samuel 24-26. Big lesson is honoring our leaders, even when they are wrong. Easy right?
Saul is still the king, and he is jealous of David and seeking to kill him. Twice in this narrative David has the opportunity to kill Saul. Both times, he chooses not to. He confronts Saul with evidence of just how close he came!
David remainded faithful to God's choice of Saul, even though God was not with Saul any longer. How are we with our bosses and leaders? Do we honor them as God appointed? Romans ch 13 has a few words to say on this subject.
Submit to authorities, they are in that position as God has chosen. As children, we at times don't like or want to do as our parents command, but later on , we learn why they commanded as such.....
