“But now thy kingdom shall not continue: for the Lord hath sought him a
man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his
own people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.”
1 Sam 13:14
Saul’s greatest battle and defeat was Saul himself!
Saul got to a point in his life he was battling everyone and
everything as fault for his own failure and faith in the Lord.
Spiritual success is living by God’s will not our own. Motive will always be wrong if our will supersedes
God’s. (1 Sam 15:1)
Samuel listened about as well as Cain did when it came to
his offering from a cursed earth (Gen 4)
Point being: Our battles are rarely with others, but within!
Saul lost his greatest asset, self-reflection concerning God’s
will verses his wants. (1 Sam 15:30)
Christians can be prone to reflect on their situations like
Saul did towards David.
David wasn’t Saul’s struggle, it was Saul himself who failed
in the Lord’s will.
When we stop blaming and start reflecting on the situations
in our life will start realizing we’re often trying to kill what God is trying
to use in our life.
One who is more focused on finding fault than feeding their
faith will often be blind to the Lord’s will.
Spiritual growth comes by self-reflection of one’s faith, not
fault finding in others!
