Chronicles 10 – Saul’s Reign.
In
the Books of Samuel and Kings we learn about Saul’s life. In this lesson we
find out who killed Saul and Why.
It says that “he inquired not of the Lord; therefore,
He slew him.” The Lord is the One that took his life. God has taken many
persons. That is the reason God says you and I are never to take a human life.
The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away. Until you and I can give life, we have
no business in taking life. Only God can give life; so, God can take away life,
and for Him it is not murder.
Saul died for his transgression which he committed
against the Lord, even against the Word of the Lord, which he kept not, and for
asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit. Saul turned to Satan for
advice. For these reasons God took his life.
God moves in the affairs of men. We are accountable to Him. He is not
accountable to us.
I once knew a mother who spent most of her life
partying with her friends while her child grew up under the grandmother’s care.
The Grandmother warned her one day that if she didn’t take care of the child
God had blessed her with, He can certainly take back that blessing. When the
child was three years old, he suffered from appendicitis in the back seat of
the sitters car. Upon arrival, the child died. The Mother remembered the
warning at the same time she found out she was pregnant with her second child.
She then vowed that she would take care of this new child. She believed God was
giving her a second chance and she proved to God that she would cherish all the
blessings that God gave her from then on. Today her child is a grown woman and is
blessed by God and her mother.
Everything we have belongs to God and we need to be
good stewards of all our blessings.
