"Foolish Saul"
Listen to Audio Recording
Welcome to "A
Minute With the Bible".
In
1 Samuel 15 we have the story
of King Saul failing to obey God’s command. This story gives us
an excellent example of something that people do even today,
When Samuel the
prophet confronted Saul because of his disobedience Saul boldly
affirmed that he had done what God had told him to do. Even
when Samuel points to the evidence that proved Saul’s
disobedience, Saul still maintained that he was obedient to
God. He offered excuses to justify his disobedience. In his
mind he was right. But he was as wrong as he could be. Be sure
to read the story in
1 Samuel 15.
One thing this
story tells us is that we can fool ourselves, we can try to fool
others, but we cannot nor will not fool God. We must develop an
honest and humble heart to enable ourselves to look within
ourselves. We must be able to honestly measure ourselves by
what God says in His word. To do otherwise is to be like
foolish and rebellious Saul.
