"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. So The LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse."
1 Chronicles 10:13-14
It's funny how this verse came about because we are talking about the qualities of a good man in church. Of course, you want this man to be Godly. Saul was not a Godly man. He didn't trust The Lord. He went with the plan that HE had planned for himself, not the plan GOD had planned. We cannot choose our own paths. I mean sure, we can choose where we want to go on vacation and stuff, but God knows what he wants us to do with our lives and will provide and lead us down the right path if we continue to follow and trust him. Saul consulted a medium. He clearly wasn't fearful of The Lord. He clearly didn't believe that God could lead the way. Don't we do that sometimes though? We go to our friends instead of God? I know I do. There's nothing wrong with asking your friends for advice at all, but you can't depend solely on your friend. You have to pray. God knows what he is doing, we just gotta let him do what he wants to do. Have you ever heard the quote "Let go, and let God"? That's what we need to do. It all goes back to last week when I talked about worry. We don't need to worry about what is going to happen next, we should just let go, and let God. We should not consult others like Saul did. We SHOULD inquire of The Lord unlike Saul did.
Let go, and let God.
