Scripture Union Daily Guide 30th September 2024 – MESSAGE
Samuel briefly took the people through their history and journey so far. Our memories can be quite short when we are out of the situations that challenged us. God was seriously pained by the decision His people have made. They opted to reject God as their King. It was as if they were not listening to Samuel at all.
Their desire for a king had beclouded their thinking. Are there occasions we too have responded to God in a similar manner, going against His will? We must distinguish between the perfect and the permissive will of God.
We saw yesterday that the Lord had chosen and anointed the King before now. God also works through the hearts of the people and their selection process to confirm His will. What would it look like if our nations and communities were to spend quality time to seek God’s direction before choosing our leaders and, in the process, allow God’s will to be done?
Even when God calls us into leadership position, there are always some who will oppose us. Notice Saul’s attitude towards those who opposed him (v.27). How do we respond or react to those who castigate us while serving the Lord? We can learn from Saul.
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
