Hello People!
In one of my recent posts I had asked you, what if Saul had listened to Samuel?
Lets try to run our heads over it and understand if Saul had listened to Samuel then what would have happened?
David wouldn't have been King! Yes, David wouldn't have been anointed as King and neither he would have had the run of life that he actually had since he was picked by GOD to be King in the stead of Saul. Neither we would have had all those psalms written by David, the very psalms to which we go to when we want some inspiration. Psalms we relate to our situation and inspire ourselves to have a communion with GOD.
Being a bit wild!! may be GOD wanted to tell us all that even though we are his anointed and may be we have a close relation with him but we can't take his directions or him for granted. May be it was running in Saul's head that he has been selected by GOD and thus he can assume things and do whatever he wanted to do. And GOD, maybe, wanted to tell his people not to take him or his directions for granted. Thus, the end of Saul the way it is!!
God didn't kill Saul immediately, may be to show us that even though we are wrong and have taken wrong directions, yet he is a merciful GOD and given ample time to us to repent from our ways. As if David was right in all his actions!! He did falter, he did fail in many a places and circumstances but one thing he made sure that whenever he realized that he had committed a mistake he ran to GOD for forgiveness!! If you have committed a mistake then is doesn't mean that you run away from GOD but run to GOD and amend your ways and he will surely forgive you.
During his escape from Saul, David got many opportunity to kill Saul but he didn't lay his hand on Saul since he was the anointed of GOD. The one trait that we need to imbibe in us, don't touch the GOD's people and never try to avenge your cause by yourself, let GOD avenge your cause and that's what GOD has told us, he shall avenge our cause in the way that he wanted to and not in our way.
So! if Saul had listened to Samuel we wouldn't have had all these learnings!!
GOD does everything for a purpose.
