Restraint and discipline to wait on God’s timing and trust in His plan. David was not like most men are inclined to be.
It is possible to be a warrior and humbly seek the Lord’s face.
1 Samuel 24:5-7 ESV
[5] And afterward David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul’s robe. [6] He said to his men, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is the Lord’s anointed.” [7] So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.
