Today, in 1 Chronicles 10-16 we read again about David. This reading is different from 1 Samuel in that it was written by one of priestly lineage, thus notice the emphasis on priestly duties and even the lengthy lists of those serving in that role.
Again, a main point is made of the difference between Saul and David. David chose to follow and seek the Lord. Saul did not. Saul did not have a successful ending. Even when David erred (see ch 13 v 9-11), he learned from those errors and sought God's direction.
Do we learn from our errors? When we do err, do we seek God to help? Do we treat God as a 2nd string QB to bring in when our first one is not performing? Sounds a little like Saul. He tried to do it his way, and the results...well, not too hot.
