“Why have you disturbed me by calling me back?” Samuel asked Saul. “Because I am in deep trouble,” Saul replied. “The Philistines are at war with me, and God has left me and won’t reply by prophets or dreams. So I have called for you to tell me what to do.” [1 Samuel 28.15]
Lesson: Learn to know when God is and is not with you!
Obviously, from the story here, we can see that Saul resorted to wrong methods for obtaining direction. However, we can see that Saul at least had sense enough to know he was in serious trouble because he was not hearing from God!
My point in this is simply a question: Do we have sense enough to know that we are in serious trouble because we are not hearing from God?
And just out of curiosity, what is it we are doing today that is the equivalent of resorting to a witch?
Father, I have complained many times here in this blog that we do not "hear" from You like people in the Bible "heard" from You. I believe we are in serious trouble, but for the most part, don't even have sense enough to recognize it. Please help us!
