1 Chronicles 10

Today we are reading 1 Chronicles 10. In this chapter we read about the death of Saul. “So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. He did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.” ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭10:13-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ The story is clear. God put him to death for his breach of faith. God allowed the Philistines to kill Saul and his sons because Saul did not keep the command of the Lord. God can do the same today. If a leader abuses the power given to him or enacts laws that are against God’s word, God may put him to death. That is something to think about! Leadership is a heavy responsibility and requires obedience to God. As Christians we are to pray for those in authority over us, whether in the church or in society. May the Holy Spirit rule in the hearts of our rulers. Pastor Tim
