A God who is to be honored

I’m in serious trouble,” replied Saul…”God has turned away from me. He doesn’t answer me anymore, either through the prophets or in dreams…”

Samuel answered… “You did not obey the Lord…” (1 Samuel 28:15, 18)

Father, you are not a genie to do my bidding. You are not a God who can be manipulated.

You are a God who is to be honored and obeyed.

Saul never learned that. He closed his ears and, more importantly, his heart to you.

And so in the end, you stopped speaking to him.

Let me never get to that point. Help me to always have a soft heart and open ears to you.
