Proverbs 18:14 says, “The spirit of a man will s

Three things I have learned from 1 Samuel 15:

𝟭. 𝗢𝗯𝗶𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲.

Saul would have stayed the King (Maybe. His track record is kind of questionable…) if he had just done exactly what God told him to do.

When the Lord asks you to do something, do it exactly like He asks. There is a reward in obedience.

𝟮. 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗺.

Although it isn’t revealed in chapter 15, we know that God chose David to be the King of Israel after Saul. God knew David’s heart and He knew where David was the ENTIRE TIME Saul was king and messing things up.

If you’re willing to do a work for the Lord but there isn’t a “work” for you to do just yet (maybe it’s not the right time?), stay patient. God sees you. He knows where you are. There is an appointed time for you work. Trust Him.

𝟯. 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆.

Samuel basically cut ties with Saul after he told Saul this his kingship would be stripped from him. But, yet, Samuel continued to mourn for Saul.

Mourning for others, especially when their choices have put them on the outs with God, is okay. Use that mourning as a reminder to pray for them.

Do not let your past define you. I know, I know.

Here’s a little encouragement for your Tuesday:

Land of the free because of the brave. #Independen

Comparison is a thief that leads to destruction.
