If you were waiting on God's deliverance or guidance in a certain situation and what seemed to be a wide open door appeared not once but twice; you would probably walk through that door. I would. David didn't.
David was fleeing for his life from Saul. On two opportunities (1Samuel 24 & 26) he could have killed Saul and taken his rightful place as king. The men by his side actually said that this was God delivering Saul into David's hand. I would have said the same thing. "Kill him! This is your chance." Well David obviously had such a close relationship with God that he knew this is not what God wanted. This is another good point for why God gives us spiritual leaders. He didn't want to hurt the anointed man of God even though this man was trying to kill him. After these incidents, David would wait even longer to see God's will take place in his life.
What looks like an opportunity might not be God's perfect timing. These incidents in David's life reminded me of this.
