1 Samuel 12Sometimes you can’t go back and start over. The Israelites understood that they had sinned in asking for a king. Saul was in place, so now they would have to live with it. God did not remove him from the throne the moment the people realized that his appointment had been a mistake. Instead, God used Saul’s administration to bring about his glory – as a contrast to David’s. Whenever we are at this point in our lives, we need to heed the word of the LORD now, not just lament our past decisions.
LORD, today we resolve to follow you. The past and the future we put in your hands.
