Saul’s reign came to an end.
He failed to show humble, obedient faith in God, letting his paranoia
take control of his life. He even found
a witch to call up long-dead Samuel because God had stopped talking to
him. The news he received wasn’t
good: He and his sons would die on the
battlefield the next day. Samuel said, “The
Lord has left you and become your
enemy.” That said it all.
As Saul was dying in battle against the Philistines, David
was pursuing the Amalekites who’d burned his city and made off with the
families and possessions of David and his men.
God was keeping David from having to fight against his own people with
the Philistines and helping him take
care of long-festering problems caused by Saul’s own disobedience. God brought David out of exile and placed him
onto the throne finally in Hebron. His
kingship had begun.
Father, I so need Your wisdom in dealing with issues I face at
work as well. You put me there and
yesterday You reminded me not to let discouragement and disillusionment set
in. Show us Your will today, Father, as
we too step out in faith.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
