Read this first: 1 Samuel 26:22-23
The Lord has tested David's honouring of the king, found him faithful and will reward him. But David can no longer speak of Saul as 'father' (24:11) nor go back to him, so another must retrieve the king's spear. We must give honour to others where the Lord commands it (e.g. leaders and parents). But that does not mean we blindly do what they ask or ignore their sin.
Based on the sermon “A time of transition”
