II. Saul's Disobedience (I Samuel . 13:8-10) ?- * III. Samuel's Condemnation (] Samuel 13:11-14) ? The Philistines Threat a Smmmd 13:5-7) 1b last week's lesson, we found u -that God had called Saul to be king - over Israel Samuel anointed Saul and >':Jhe people were happy to have him as their lung Saul organized a standing army of 3000 men Part of that army v. he put in his son, Jonathan's charge , Jonathan and his army attacked the Philistines and was victorious over .?? them. This upset the Philistines and .. they planned to get revenge for their .. The Philistines gathered their army f jt Michmash, with thirty thousand . chanots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand. When the men of Israel say what was happening, they ?? .were gripped with fear and began to run and hide. Some of them even left . she land that God had given them. When people become disobedient to God and want to trust in man, then .- what they are faced with great odds, t,. they are faced with fear. Israel was out of the will of God because they had .insisted on having a king. So God allowed it to be. Remember God '? knows what we need and what is best -. for us. When we insist on things that ? are not in God's will, and we are allowed to have them, we will have to *. face the consequences of our self willed desires. The desire of every Christian ought to be to do the will of . God. Romans 12:1 says "I beseech ' you therefore, brethren, by the mercies - pf God to present your bodies a living Sacrifice, holy, acceptable before God. yhx this is you reasonable service." For what God hu done for us, we need ..Mb.. I (I Smmttcl 13:9-10) Saul wu as Gtgal prcpana^for the had told him to wait sevea days and he would be back. Saul'* way wu dwindling, and Samuel had not Uowed up, so Saul began to get nervous. Saul did like many of us do today, he decided to take nutlm into bis own hands. The first mistake thstpeopie make is to stop following Do and making their own decisions. Many times we have a problem with waiting upon the Lord Most ofthe time we try to work out our problems without God's help. What happens is that we make a bigger mess out of it, then we decide we can't handle the situation, so we give it to God. Many times we suffer undue hardships because we do not cast our cares upon Jesus. Let's keep in mind that God called Saul to the king over Israel. He did not call him into the priesthood. Saul wu a political leader whose task wu to defend and to keep law and order in Israel. Things were not looking food for Saul and Israel. Samuel had not showed up when Saul thought he ought to and die Philistines were moving closer. Rash situations sometimes call for rash decisions. These are decisions that are not always wise, especially when we leave God out ofthe decision making. Saul decided since Samuel had not showed up that he would offer a sacrifice to God. He failed to obey God and wait for Samuel. II Samuel 15:9 says "To obev is better than sacrifice." Sometimes we may do things that are displeasing to God when we are in a bad situation, trying to get his smile of approval on our actions to get us out of the situation. Saul, it seems, wu faced with disaster, so he decided he needed to take matters into his own hands. Saul offered a ue I came upm*j Saul HiUlhiw sadmiaml turn Saul acted M If them wee aot anything wrong with what he had Just (knej^c^evethet the coaeciaace of do are pleasing to God. UL Smmmm't Cmtdtmuntim a Smu*l 13:11-14) he had drtwSSauJsakl that the people were forsakinghim and the FhiUabnes wen moving *, so he decided to m^cesupphcatioa to the Lord. Notice thai Saul aaid he fenod hfanmif to , offer a burnt offering. Saul knew that he was wrong, but like many people who do wrong, theyofler excueae to juatify theiractioae The Mobfeat with doing wrong is mciag the couaoquencea oat follow. Sia had a payday and an will collect oa It's debt. Saul's llaohnihaare coat him aad the nation Israel. The judgment for his am mm that tlw Kingdom would be taken from him Oodhadehuady revealed to Samuel that he had a awn after his own heart to take Saul's place We will learn Later that David was the man. I urge you Christian brethren to seek the will of God in your life. Do not allow disobedience to cause grave consequence* in your life, ftpopfe have lost loved ones, and people have gone to hell becauae of diaobedteaoe and failure to repent disobedience To the lost, I urge you to come to Jesus now. Repent of your tins or face the consequences of eternity in hell, separated from God. God bless you until next week. Pray for us.
