How do we know the sovereignty of God is true in the story of David?

Answered in 1 source

The sovereignty of God is evidenced through His consistent protection and guidance of David despite numerous adversities.

Throughout the narrative of 1 Samuel, especially in chapters 22 to 27, God's sovereignty is displayed through His protection and providential care for David. Despite Saul's relentless pursuit and the threats against David's life, God orchestrates circumstances ensuring that David not only survives but thrives during hardship. David's inquiries of the Lord, such as asking whether to engage in battle, show his reliance on God's will. Sovereign grace theology asserts that all things unfold according to God's eternal purpose, assuring us that He is in control even during chaotic times. This historical account affirms the Reformed tenet that God's providence governs both history and individual lives.
