*TODAY’S THEME: Impatient: a costly mistake*
TEXT: 1 Samuel 13:8-14
"[8]Saul waited seven days, according to the set time Samuel had appointed. But Samuel had not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from Saul.
[9]So Saul said, Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering [which he was forbidden to do].
[10]And just as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came! Saul went out to meet and greet him.
[11]Samuel said, What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash,
[12]I thought, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord. So I forced myself to offer a burnt offering.
[13]And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly! You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God which He commanded you; for the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever;
[14]But now your kingdom shall not continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince and ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.."
*SHOWER:*
Impatient has killed many talents and gifts on Earth. It's among the reasons people often violate road safety laws and die on highways. This is also why many young girls and boys are loosing their virtues and dying carelessly as they engage on illegal businesses, sale their bodies for wealth, etc. The result is eternal disgrace and lost of opportunities. We can see that in today's message as King Saul lost his throne and kingdom for offering peace offerings he was forbidden to do. And the power was transferred to David. Be careful how live your life on Earth to avoid had I know.
