March 30

It seems like forever since I have written. Today I will catch up. (I suffered a hand injury that has hindered me from writing).

A lot has happened in the past decades of Samuel and Saul’s life. Significant is the fact that God wanted to be the King of His people and Israel rejected them. They wanted a human king like the other nations. Humm…

Saul, a seemingly humble man was exalted, until he became proud and then he was humbled. What was the point of pride? He did as he pleased and did not carry out the command of the Lord – which was for everyone’s good! God’s word to us is the same, don’t offer me some religious sacrifice and not do what I say. And by the way, if you rebel, it is just like being a witch and the pride that says “I’ll do it my way” is idolatry. Why so harsh? Because God wants us to have His blessing and those are the exact things that stop the blessings of God from flowing to us.
