What David had

²² Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’”
²³ They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.”

David killed thousands of Philisines, yet he is humble. While king Saul was busy plotting against David, David has a humble heart and that humility has help him through all the time with God, because when one is humble, God exhalts him. When one is proud, God convicts him.


God said in James 4:6
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."

David was very humble, despite all his achievements. He could have said, "yes i am deserving, she is my bride now. But he did not! Instead he said he was unworthy to become king's son in law. King Saul on the other hand sees himself as larger than life; through his numerous acts. We all should learn from David, humble oneself, so God can exalt and use us. When God has blessed us with achievements, look back to Him, and be humble.
