1 Chronicles 10If Saul wanted to blame someone for his fate, there was quite a number of potential culprits. He could blame David, the upstart who dared to upstage him. He could blame Jonathan for siding with the opposition. He could blame the Philistines who were a constant antagonist to his people. He could even blame God, who set him up as king, and then rejected him. But the chronicler leaves no doubt as to why Saul died on that hill that day. He took his own life, and he came to that fate because of his breach of faith.
You and I also can find a number of people to blame for our present condition. But playing that game does not help. The only solution to our problems is our heavenly father. We cannot afford to separate ourselves from him.
LORD, give us the wisdom to stop blaming, and reach out to you.
