God Used the "Mad" King Saul to Build the Character of David

The greatest writings in Church History were penned persons who had experienced great persecution.  Don't get me wrong, material wealth and its appropriate disposition or lack thereof may be one of the greatest temptations. However, according to the Scriptures God is more concerned with our character development.  He uses circumstances,, persons, and events to build our character.  He works on us without apology  and permission.  If we belong to Him, this is what he does to our great benefit.
