1Samuel 15
“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.””
1 Samuel 15:23 MEV
Cross references
1 Samuel 13:14
Rejected
“Then Samuel said, Do you think all God wants are sacrifices— empty rituals just for show? He wants you to listen to him! Plain listening is the thing, not staging a lavish religious production.
Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult.
Getting self-important around God is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said No to God’s command, he says No to your kingship.”
1 Samuel 15:22-23 MSG
It all boils down to this:
We are not God!
Can we make life? Even the latest scientific discoveries and newest technology can not make something from nothing.
We have to start with some type of matter.
God created the matter.
Rebellion, stubbornness, disobedience. These are all forms of rejecting God.
Action Step
Do not think that we are any different from Saul.
Examine your own heart and rid yourself of any teeny, tiny bit of stubborn, self.
Humble yourself before God.
He is merciful and just, quick to forgive.
Thank you Jesus for covering us with your blood
