Bridging the Gap With Pastor Lloyd Pulley
If you’ve been with us recently, you may recall how David beautifully handled his conflict with Saul. He had the perfect opportunity to retaliate against the man who was trying to kill him, but David chose the higher road. Now today, we find him in a similar circumstance, but this time he tries to take matters into his own hands. Rather than getting all worked up, and seek vengeance, there’s a much better course of action to take.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is currently leading us through the Old Testament book of First Samuel, and today we continue in chapters twenty-two and twenty three. I’m sure you’ve heard this statement many times: “Without faith it is impossible to please God”. We all acknowledge the truth of that statement, but how often do we face adversity and forget to call on our faith in God to get us through? Living by faith is what it’s all about!

As you may recall, David knows he’s going to be the next King of Israel, and he’s running for his life. But all the way through this trial, God is reminding David that He’s going to keep His promises and that He’s with him and for him. Here on this edition of Bridging the Gap we will take a look at the suffering David experienced in his life, and Pastor Lloyd will relate this to what we are bound to experience as well.

David was a man after God’s own heart - but we’ll see that there was a time in his life where he had a heart of deception. Just goes to show even the greatest of God’s servants are still sinners on the inside, but God can use any sinner to accomplish His will.

Today we’ll return to pastor Lloyd’s verse by verse study through First Samuel. We will be specifically looking at chapter twenty today, and David’s relationship with his best friend, Jonathan. When we face trials, a good and trustworthy friend is a real blessing. David was certainly in a place in life where he needed a good friend. He was on the run from Saul, and really needed someone he could trust.

Whether we see it or not, God protects His children and restrains evil. We’ll see a good example of that today on Bridging the Gap as we open First Samuel nineteen. If you’ll recall, Saul is envious of David and wants to kill him. But the Lord restrains Saul from harming David. Just as He protected David, He can protect you too.
