1 Samuel 8
Inspired thots
When the Israelites requested for a king to rule over them, it displeased Samuel and he took the matter to the Lord in prayer. (v6) That is the wisest move one can take with ALL matters. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Let Him settle it on our behalf. It is usually a sad case of people rejecting God.
His sons, Joel and Abijah, did not follow their father's footsteps in diligently seeking the Lord and serving Him; how sad!
One must really discover God personally to establish a personal relationship with Him. Then God will speak and reveal Himself.
Samuel faithfully represented the people before the Lord communicating between both parties. Even having been warned of the dire consequences of an earthly king, Israel chose to reject their Heavenly King! How sad!
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
