Read 1 Samuel 15
Think About It:
- A king gives orders and expects servants to obey completely. Yet, Saul was given orders from the One true King and he did not completely obey. What was the reason that Saul was rejected as king?
- Why didn’t Saul obey the command of the Lord?
- Why do we not obey the commandments of the Lord?
Family Time:
- What did God instruct Saul to do? (verse 5) Did Saul do it? (verses 8-9) What did he do instead?
- What did Samuel do when he heard that Saul had turned away from following the Lord? (verses 11 and 35)
- What can we learn from Samuel’s example?
- Do you know people who have turned away from following the Lord? Or people who don’t know Him yet? Are you grieved for them?
- Ask God to help you have His heart towards people who are in sin, and then spend some time praying for them.
