The Danger Of Disobeying God's Word!

 

Today's verse is 1 Chronicles 10:13

So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it; 

    Truly the days of Saul were numbered even before David was anointed King. Yet, God was gracious to him, allowing him to prepare David his successor to be King in his stead. But, even in this he rejected God’s Word, God’s Will, as he often tried to destroy David, and then even as we have testimony of it here, thinking he was inquiring of God (but was not) he sought the counsel of a familiar spirit instead. Consider what we are told in Hebrews: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; is this not what happened to Saul? Therefore, let us hold fast to every Word of God that he has given us, fully giving our Trust to Him that made us, and in the end, we shall find that he ever was more faithful to us, than we ever were to him, even as David so discovered. Amen.

To God be the Glory
