LOOK:

Nothing restrains the Lord. We often believe that God is restrained one way or another. The truth is that our unbelief restrains God. Matthew 13:58 says, “Jesus did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” God’s power is never restrained, but God’s will may be restrained because of our unbelief. He may choose not to act until we partner with Him in trust. God had a trusting partner in Jonathan!

LOOK:

Saul started out with so much promise. He was chosen and anointed by God. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He had the support of a man of God like Samuel. He had been given gifts appropriate to royalty. But despite all these great advantages, Saul can still blow it. Will he walk in the advantages God had given him so far, or will he go his own way? What about us? Are we stewarding His gifts and His anointing?

LOOK:

The request for a human king was not in itself improper, for God had promised such a leader. But the refusal to wait for God’s timing was clearly displeasing to the Lord and to His prophet, Samuel. We can never go wrong seeking God’s leadership through prayer. We need to hear His voice first and foremost, and then obey.
