The major difference between the failure of Saul and the faith of David is found, not in their conquests, but in the content of their hearts. Saul was out to write an epic story for himself, while David wanted to highlight God's glory. David credited God with his past success and looked to God to sustain him moving forward. Because David was after God's glory, God wrote him a better story than he could have dreamed- through obscurity to popularity to scrutiny and finally to security David continued to seek God's glory.
