Rejecting God for a King: I Samuel 8-11
Manage episode 501643929 series 3382770
I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts!
When Israel begged for a king so they could be like all the other nations around them Samuel told them they were being wicked. God flat out said that they were rejecting Him in favor of an earthly king.
But God has always put people in positions of authority... Moses, priests, judges, men at the head of household... all of those leadership positions are sanctioned- why not kingship?
Turns out, we humans have limited resources. Inevitably, we find yourselves diverting a portion of what we were intending to give to God over to those who rule us. So is it possible that power can either be holy or wicked- depending on who gets God's due?
If God puts something on your heart as a result of this episode, PLEASE reach out. I would love for you to join the conversation with me on Instagram, Facebook or my YouTube channel.
