Prompt: "Psalms 20:6-7 6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. What does this mean to you?" God thrives on weakness. He usually does not move until we have given up all hope. I think He lets us die because in death we are at our very weakest. When we die He will resurrect us to judgment. David had given up. He was surrounded by his enemies and defeated essentially. Yet from the defeat God brought him victory.

Saul needed to poop and did so in David's presence. David could have killed Saul and became king. Instead he respected Saul as God's anointed and only cut off the tail of Saul's robe. He then waited for Saul to leave and when Saul was a ways off he called to Saul, showing him the piece of material and saying essentially "I could have killed you instead.
