Tag: perfect King

And who does all Israel desire but you and all your father’s family?” (1 Samuel 9:20)

I was thinking on those words this morning.

Israel was placing their hope in an imperfect king, an imperfect savior.

Why would they do that when they already had a perfect King, a perfect Savior?

But it’s so easy to do. To place our hope in anyone or anything but God.

I don’t want to do that.

Instead, I choose to stay under my good King’s reign, making him the one I desire above all other things.

Now, Lord, what do I wait for?
My hope is in you. (Psalm 39:7)
