David 13

 One would think Saul would have learned faithfulness to God because of His provision. 42 years of experiences should teach wisdom and better decision making skills. But the Saul is much like a lot of leaders in that success and a blessed life can go to your head. Samuel took life into his own hands and rejected God’s loving provision. He became independent, jealous of David, and thought he didn’t need Samuel. I can be tempted to be self sufficient, not pray about everything and be negligent in relying on God’s word. In the process I’m live in my own little world, blind tk what God is doing in the grand scale.
