1 Samuel 24

We find here a wonderful example of the complexity of people. We see Saul, a conflicted man, a person who I believe genuinely meant every sentiment expressed to David. There is a vast difference between a person who is deceptive, duplicity, insincere and one who is conflicted. Both are a broken existence and leave a wake of destruction behind. Saul loved David but he also loved his throne, his prestige, his power. He was conflicted.

Ultimately, there is only one sentiment that can break both deception and confliction and that is a love for God. Sadly, that is one love Saul had lost...so too he became, lost.
