Do You Have The Right Fear?

 

Today's verse is 1 Samuel 15:24

And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 

    Every day, we must consider this question: Who do I Fear? King Saul, making a show of fearing God, and thinking he obeyed his Word, rather feared the people, and allowed them to guide him as to what is right or what is wrong. And the amazing thing is, He did all of this in Gilgal, the place of the Word, the law, the place of blessings and cursings. Saul thinking he was choosing the blessing, chose rather the curse, because of the fear of the people. Jesus had said of his own: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me[.] Do you know whose voice you follow? Selah [Let this sink in.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
