"Saul was established as the king of Israel, but he did not rule by following the LORD as he should have. The passage we read today exposes some harsh truths about Saul, and reasons why God had rejected his kingship. Saul was a handsome and stately man on the outside, but inside he was stubbornly proud and sinful. The outside certainly isn't everything and the books of Samuel reinforce this for us. Leadership begins in the heart and the flesh follows - good and bad - all are judged in the spirit. The results of our actions make sense to most people on the outside, our actions and consequences can be tracked. But the truth, our good or evil intentions, are known by God. As Christians, we must always consider what the Holy Spirit says before we make our decisions about anything.
