Saul

As you know, we have already reached the end of 1 Samuel by today and I would just like to share a little thought about the life of Saul and David

Saul was a crowd pleaser. Sometimes, I see myself like him. He was a person who chose to please people, took God for granted, hardly consulted God and always ran ahead of God's time. Sounds familiar? LOL :) Saul committed suicide in the end.

1 Chronicles 10:13-14 "Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance and did not inquire of the Lord......"

We all know that God is a merciful and gracious God. But, sometimes or most of the time, we take it for granted and live in a world where we think that "all will be ok." We forget that there is a God and how much we need Him.

How long will God allow us to keep doing what we are doing and by His grace, pick us up again? If one day, God chooses to kick us by the butt, I wonder will that be a good enough wake up call for us or have we become like Saul (not the suicide part)? What is your purpose in living this life? Think about it.

What The Lord Has Done In Me

Just a song for you guys to reflect

2 Corinthians 13: 7-9⁷ Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed. ⁸ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. ⁹ We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored. 

Let the weak say, "I am strong" Let the poor say, "I am rich" Let the blind say, "I can see" It's what the Lord has done in me 
 
Let the weak say, "I am strong" Let the poor say, "I am rich" Let the blind say, "I can see" It's what the Lord has done in me 

 Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again 

 To the river I will wade There my sins are washed away From the heavens' mercy streams Of the Savior's love for me 

 I will rise from waters deep
Into the saving arms of God I will sing salvation songs Jesus Christ has set me free

 Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again 

 Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again  Let the weak say, "I am strong" Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Let the blind say, "I can see"
It's what the Lord has done in me
