To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat or rams.
I Samuel 15:22
Rejecting the Lord God of Israel as King cost the people more than
they could have thought. Not only did they get Saul as king, but he
had a history of doing things as he saw fit. This is not a quality
indicative of a king of Israel. Consider Deuteronomy 17:18-20.
Saul presumed to worship God in his own way which only led to his
total rejection by God himself. I pray that we would not set up men
over us to lead us in this way. But I pray that we could follow our
Lord and King Jesus Christ into all righteousness.
Saul did not seek to understand the word of his King. Let it not be so
of us. Understand what you read and obey Him.
With love in Christ,
Jay
