However Saul did not inquire of the Lord as often as David and God was not as pleased to answer Saul's inquiries as He was to David's inquiries. Saul's great sin was to depend on himself and not to depend on God.

1Sa 28:6
And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

1Ch 10:13-14

So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, [even] against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking [counsel] of [one that had] a familiar spirit, to enquire [of it];
And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

1Ch 13:3

How did David learn to inquire of the Lord? He knew that the Israelites gained the possession of the land not by their own sword or arm but God's right hand, God's arm, and the light of God's countenance, and the God's favor on them are the real reasons.

Psa 44:3
For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Psa 44:6
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

A warrior as mighty as David was, he did not trust his own sword or arm; he depended on God's right hand and arm and sought after God's countenance and favor.

May I inquire of the Lord for His direction concerning my future. May I seek the light of His countenance and favor.
