Biblical Text: ‘ And Samuel said, what hast thou done? And Saul said, because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Mishmash ‘ [1 Samuel 13:11]
Saul was preparing for battle with the enemies of Israel. God sent Prophet Samuel to King Saul that he should go to Gilgal and stay there for seven days, then wait for Prophet Samuel to come and offer the burnt offering and sacrifices of peace offerings. Saul tarried in Gilgal for seven days as instructed. He saw that the people were leaving him because of the presence of innumerable numbers of philistines army at Mishmash. Saul thought he was losing time. He did not see any reason why he should keep waiting for Samuel to come and perform the sacrifice. He believed God will understand why he had to go against His instruction. He performed the sacrifice! Scarcely had he finished that prophet Samuel came. Sauls punishment was, his kingdom will not continue. Every day, you hear of people who claim they are Christians but have compromised because they feel God will understand. They cheat to pass an examination; they pay bribe to secure an admission; they lie and steal to get their way. They all have a strong impression that God will understand why they had to go against His Word. Brethren, if you want your kingdom to continue, do not join the class of Christians that will go against Gods instruction and believe He will understand.
KNOW IT ∞ God will not understand if you go against His Word.
READ IT ∞ Judges 11:30-40, Acts 5:1-5, Genesis 34:1-2
PRAY IT ∞ Father, help me not to go against your Word.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Deuteronomy 4-6
