So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He failed to obey the Lord’s command and he even consulted a medium instead of asking the Lord for guidance. So the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David so of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 10:13
What do I take from this? How are we to be faithful to the Lord? Obey His commands and seek Him for guidance.
Saul disobeyed God’s commands and sought guidance from a medium. So God killed him for this.
We learn from earlier in the chapter that not only Saul but his three sons died in the same battle. Saul’s disobedience cost him not only his life but the lives of his sons as well.
This is heavy.
As fathers, our disobedience has vast/heavy consequences to our children, our wives, and others close to us.
But, if obey God and seek Him for guidance then we will blessed – as will our wives, and children and others close to us.
I choose to follow Jesus right now – meaning to obey his commandments and to always see His guidance for every situation.
I pray that you do as well and that in the name of Jesus, His blessings will shower you and your family for being faithful to His commands and for seeking Him alone for guidance.
Your brother in the trenches with you,
David
