1 Samuel 22:13-16 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so that he has rebelled against me and lies in wait for me, as he does today?” Ahimelek answered the king, “Who of all your servants is as loyal as David, the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard and highly respected in your household? Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father’s family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.” But the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelek, you and your whole family.” 
There will be people in my life who speak the truth to me that I do not want to hear. Lord, may I be willing to listen to others when you speak the truth through them.

Luke 12:21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
Which riches do I prioritize? May spiritual riches be my highest aim. 

1 Samuel 20:4 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.” 
Jonathan was willing to do “whatever” his best friend, David, needed; even if it meant his own death. Authentic love is demonstrated in our actions toward others when we serve them without limits.

Luke 12:13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
How often we want Jesus to straighten other people out. I need to deal with issues in my own life and let the Lord deal with others as He sees fit. 

1 Samuel 18:14 In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him. 
Lord, may everything I do please You and may You be with me in everything I do, so that Your kingdom may grow.

1 Samuel 17:28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.” 
When I do what the Lord asks of me, there will be people who do not understand. Lord, enable me to do Your will in the face of adversity against giants I don’t know, as well as giants I do know.

Luke 12:11-12 NIV[11] “When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, [12] for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.”
God’a Spirit will provide me with what I need for every occasion.  

1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 
May I learn to see people how the Lord sees them. Father, enable me to look past the outward appearance and instead, look at the heart.

1 Samuel 15:35 Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel. 
Lord, keep me from making mistakes that divide my relationships with others. May I always obey You, so that You may never regret what You have done for me.

Luke 12:8 “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
Jesus is proud of me when I speak a word of testimony.
