Thoughts on Saul and David

I'm currently reading through 1 Samuel's passages about the persecution of David by Saul, and it strikes me that Saul's behavior is--absent its ancient Middle Eastern setting--worthy of Dilbert. The "pointy haired king" ignores all kinds of signs from the Almighty to keep chasing after David--his own daughter refuses to help him, his own son refuses to help him, he and all of his messengers are transformed into naked prophets, and everybody in Israel except for Saul and his army can find David. His denial of reality is worthy of any "pointy haired boss" or "executive with good hair."

So if you're having, or have had, "a bit of difficulty" at work, God's Word tells us "Been there, done that, here's how to respond." It's a good deal.
