Daily Devotions: Understanding the Hearts of People - May 16, 2026

1 Samuel 23:9–12 (ESV) In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches an important lesson about leadership, human nature, and wisdom. Even after David rescued the city of Keilah, God revealed that the very people he helped would betray him out of fear if Saul came after him. Pastor Sumrall explains that people who are hurt or afraid often react in ways they normally would not, and wise leaders learn not to take every action personally. Sometimes, leadership means understanding human weakness and choosing not to place people in situations where fear may cause them to fail or compromise. As you watch this episode, be encouraged to grow in wisdom, compassion, and maturity as a leader, learning when to stand with people and when to quietly step away in order to protect both them and yourself. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
