Daily Devo | "Whatever Saul Asked Him to Do" (David - Day 3, 1 Samuel 18:1-2,5)

Many want to be leaders; few want to be followers. One of the principles of biblical leadership on display in David's life is that being a good leader starts with being a good follower. How can we lead others into a life of following God if we ourselves resist being good followers? David here begins to display his faithfulness to God by being faithful in serving others -- in particular, the problematic King Saul.

For Reflection:

Not all followers make good leaders, but all godly leaders start by being good followers, just as David shows.

- Who are some of the leaders and influencers that you admire? To what degree do they demonstrate the heart of a servant, and how does that heart show up in what they do (or not)?

- What areas of influence and leadership do you have? (Home, work, school, neighborhood, friendships, family, etc.?) In what areas do you have responsibilities as a follower?

- How might God be inviting you to be a better follower and servant?
