Swept Away

"Be sure to fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you. Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away." 1 Samuel 12:24-25

I have been reading about Samuel the prophet in recent days. I have come to three conclusions about us human types and rather than elaborate or give great detail and try to persuade you that these three things are not only valid, but profound and foundational to our walk, I am simply going to bullet point them and let them stand on their own. The Scripture I shared are Samuel’s last words to the people before Saul becomes King, which was not God’s perfect will, but God in His permissive will allowed it to happen.

For the most part, we human beings do not really know what is best for us, individually or corporately. We too often fail to consider what God has already done for us. We do not really serve Him very faithfully and tend to learn the hard way.

Good counsel to keep from being swept away by emotions, others and circumstances.

Working on them myself,
