Saul requested Samuel to forgive him and join with him to worship
the LORD. (1 Samuel 15:25)
But Samuel refused! And when Samuel turned to go, Saul tried to hold
him back and tore the hem of his robe.
Samuel told him that, similarly, the LORD also tore the kingdom of
Israel from Saul that day and gave it to someone else, one who is better than
him.
He said, God will not lie, or change his mind, he is not human to
change his mind! (1 Samuel 15:28)
Saul pleaded again to at least honor him before the elders and
before Israel by joining him to worship the LORD .
So Samuel finally agreed and went back with him, and Saul worshiped
The Lord.
Samuel put Agag to death before the Lord at Gilgal. (1 Samuel 15:33)
Samuel went back home and Saul too returned to his house. Samuel
never went to meet with Saul again, but he mourned constantly for him. And the
LORD was sorry he had ever made Saul king of Israel.
To
Ponder:
Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission
is better than offering. Rebelling is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness
as bad as worshiping idols. (1 Samuel 15:22-23 NLT)
How are we today ? Do we obey the word of God ? Are we submissive to
our God given spiritual guide or leader?
Do we rebel? Are we stubborn?
Let's set our life right today with the help of God!
