Saul was chosen by God lifted from among his people and anointed as king imagine the honor the weight of responsibility and the trust God placed in him Saul had everything he needed to lead well but when fear and Desperation crept in he let those emotions control him picture this Saul is surrounded by enemies his trusted prophet Samuel has died and he feels L alone in his mind God's voice has gone silent but instead of drawing closer to God instead of clinging to the promises he had once known Saul allowed Panic to override his obedience he
sought out a medium a witch a practice God had forbidden for the people of Israel desperation blinds us to the truths we once held dear it clouds our judgment and dulls our spiritual senses in Saul's case it led him to break God's Commandments Leviticus 19:31 warns us do not turn to mediums or spiritists for you will be defiled by them I am the Lord your God this command was meant to protect God's people from deception from spiritual harm and from the darkness that comes when we turn away from him Saul knew this yet in his
fear he chose to ignore God's boundaries death desperation is a thief it steals our peace our patience and our trust in God's timing when fear presses in we must remember that God's silence is not his absence Psalm 77:2 reminds us in the day of my trouble I seek the Lord even when answers seem far off we are called to seek him to hold on to his promises desperation can lead us to Darkness if we let it or it can lead us into the light of deeper Faith think about it when you face your own day
of trouble what will you cling to Saul's story teaches us that in moments of fear we have a choice we can either allow desperation to drive us to Darkness or we can let it drive us deeper into God's presence the Lord is near to those who call on him even in silence trust that God is present even in your waiting when Saul chose to seek out the witch of Endor he didn't just make a mistake he crossed into forbidden territory God sets boundaries not as restrictions but as protection he doesn't want us to step into
spiritual Darkness because he knows it leads to deception confusion and harm consider this God commanded Israel do not practice divination or seek Omens Deuteronomy 8 18: 10 this was not merely a rule to follow but a safeguard by Consulting a medium Saul rejected God's protection and exposed himself to spiritual danger the moment we choose to step outside God's boundaries we leave ourselves vulnerable to the enemy's lies imagine you're driving on a dangerous road with guard rails on either side these guard rails aren't there to restrict you they're there to keep you safe when you ignore
them you risk falling off the edge similarly God's boundaries protect us from spiritual harm his word tells us for the Lord gives wisdom from his mouth come knowledge and understanding Proverbs 2:6 God is our source of Truth our guide and our protector when we turn away from his wisdom we open ourselves to confusion and deception Saul's Des insiration led him to a place he never should have gone a place God had clearly forbidden and the consequences were severe he received a message but it was not a message of Hope or guidance it was a message
of judgment by stepping outside of God's will Saul lost the protection and the favor he once had chosen ones remember this there are no shortcuts to God's wisdom the world may offer quick answers and easy solutions but these paths lead away from the truth hold fast to God's guidance and resist the temptation to seek answers in places that he has forbidden God's truth is enough his word is enough when the path seems unclear trust that God will light your way in his time there are times when it seems like God is silent like our prayers
hit a wall like his voice is distant Saul experienced this silence and instead of waiting he chose to seek answers elsewhere but what Saul failed to understand is that God's silence is often an invitation to deeper trust it is not a sign of his absence but a test of our patience and faith Silence from God can feel unsettling but it is not a reason to give up it is an invitation to draw closer Proverbs 3: 5 and 6 reminds us trust in the Lord with all your heart heart and lean not on your own understanding
when God's voice is quiet it does not mean he is ignoring you sometimes he is allowing you to grow to deepen your faith and to learn to lean on him without the constant reassurance of signs and wonders think of a child holding their parents' hand while walking through a crowded place even if the parent is silent the child doesn't let go the child holds tighter like wise when God is silent it's our opportunity to hold on to him even more firmly trusting that he is guiding us even when we cannot see the way ahead if
you find yourself in a season where God seems silent resist the urge to look for answers in Forbidden places instead remember that his silence can be a powerful teacher it teaches us patience perseverance and Trust Romans 8:25 says but if we we hope for what we do not yet have we wait for it patiently patience is a mark of true faith in those moments of Silence seek God's face more earnestly pray meditate on his word and listen for his quiet Whispers even if you don't hear him immediately know that he is with you he has
promised never will I leave you never will I forsake you Hebrews 13:5 silence is not abandonment it is an invitation to deepen your trust obedience is not a mere rule it is the foundation of our relationship with God Saul's life teaches us that Disobedience no matter how small it may seem has consequences his downfall began the moment he chose his own way over God's commands when God instructed Saul to completely destroy the amalekites Saul only partially obeyed he spared King AAG and kept the best of the livestock claiming he did so to offer sacrifices to
God but partial obedience is still Disobedience God values obedience above all else for it reflects a heart that trusts him completely Samuel's rebuke to Saul was clear to obey is better than sacrifice and to heed is better than the fat of rams 1 Samuel 15:22 obedience requires humility surrender and Faith it is a choice to say God your will above mine Saul's downfall was not just in his final Act of Consulting a medium it was a series of choices each one chipping away at his relationship with God his rebellion led him away from the peace
protection and purpose that God had given him chosen ones obedience is not about restriction it's about freedom when we walk in obedience we align ourselves with God's heart we open the door to His blessings and his guidance James 1:25 tells us but whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it not forgetting what they have heard but doing it they will be blessed in what they do let obedience be your Safeguard your guide and your strength choose to trust God even when the path is unclear obedience is the key to
living a life in the fullness of his Blessing it is our way of showing God that we love him trust him and choose him Above All Else the story of The Witch of Endor also teaches us about God's boundaries regarding life and death by Consulting this medium Saul trespassed into a realm that belongs to God Alone the afterlife is not something for us to explore through forbidden means it is a sacred truth held by God himself when we turn to practices like Consulting the dead or engaging in occult activities we are essentially saying that God's
word is not enough but God's guidance is sufficient his wisdom is perfect Isaiah 8:19 says when someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists should not a people inquire of their God God is the the ultimate source of Truth and we are called to seek him alone for guidance our world today may offer many answers but they are not answers rooted in truth God's word provides us with everything we need to know about life death and Eternity let us respect his boundaries and seek our answers in his word God's truth is a light that guides
us a lamp unto our feet and we need not seek other sources let soul story be a warning and a guide desperation fear and silence do not have to lead us to Darkness God calls us to stand strong to hold fast to his word and to walk in obedience Saul's Journey reminds us that the choices we make in times of uncertainty can shape not only our lives but also the legacy of Faith We Leave Behind imagine this you are standing at a Crossroads one part seems easier lined with quick answers worldly promises and instant Solutions
the other path may seem longer perhaps more challenging but it is lit by the unwavering light of God's truth which will you choose when life feels overwhelming when answers are slow to come remember that you are not alone you have a God who hears you who loves you and who walks with you even in the silence in your times of waiting let God's word be your anchor cling to the promises he has given you and resist the urge to seek forbidden answers trust that his timing is perfect even when you don't understand it the Journey
of Faith is one of trust patience and obedience it may require sacrifice humility and surrender but as we choose to follow God's path we align ourselves with his purposes we become vessels for his love and we are filled with the peace that only he can provide beloved chosen ones God has set you apart for a purpose you are called to be a light a Beacon of Hope and a testament to his faithfulness in every season whether in Joy or in trial in Clarity or in silence hold fast to him let obedience be your Shield Faith
