An Evil Spirit…from God?

The Bible tells us that the one, true God of all Heaven and earth is a gracious, loving,
and good God. Yet there are also passages in God's Word that tell us that our Lord
sends trials and troubles and even evil into people's lives. How can these two truths be
reconciled? The troubled and sad life of King Saul is instructive in helping us
understand this "problem" of God sending evil upon someone.

1. Saul's disobedience brings on this evil spirit.

2. God is actually being merciful in sending this evil spirit.

3. Our response to the presence of evil spirits.
