Alistair Begg explains how this gesture honored the Lord and appeared to soften Saul’s heart. When life’s path doesn’t seem to make sense, we, like David, can trust God to order all our ways.

Examining four stories of deliverance, Alistair Begg reminds us that while following Jesus entails challenges and suffering, we can be confident that He is beside us, giving us strength to endure, keeping us safe on the journey, and ultimately delivering us.

So send I you—to labor unrewarded,
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
