I Samuel 15
Background:
Saul,
did not want to be king, he didn’t
believe Samuel 9:21,but hid when called upon to be king, 10:22. But after the
years, he had come to think so greatly about himself, that he had a monument
made after him, I Sam. 15:11-12
Amalekites,
they were doomed for destruction, Ex. 1714-16; Nu.24:20; Dt.25:17-19;. The Lord
was paying back to them for what they did in the past.
Problems:
1.
Not keeping the Word of the Lord is not an
unimportant issue. Saul, and us, must follow what the Lord says. Not doing it,
may bring unwanted consequences to our lives, and our loved one. Eg. Saul and
his sons died.
2.
We must destroy all past issues that still
bother our lives. God gives us the strength and accomplish this. We must
utterly destroy all past issues that may damage our present.
3.
No service, or “sacrifice” will ever replaced
being obedient to the Lord. Obedience is greater than anything else we may do.
Conclusion
Are we
being obedient to the Lord? Are we willing to follow the Lord’s Word, even when
others suggests to us not to, because it may not be profitable? Does obedience
also show love for God?
