-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON-
To this point in our time in 1 Samuel, the scriptures have moved relatively quickly. In 8 chapters, we have seen the birth of Samuel to Samuel referred to as being an old man. The scriptures are about to slow down; it will take 17 chapters to go from Samuel being an old man to dying. For this Sunday, read 1 Samuel 8.
Sometimes we are better off to not get what we ask for.
The reality was that Samuel was getting old and his sons were corrupt, unfit to serve God's people as judges, even the elders of Israel knew this. Just because we know there is a problem, this does not mean that we know the solution.
What do the elders of Israel demand? What should they have done?
Why was Samuel displeased with the elders' demand? While Samuel was displeased with the demands of the elders, what did he do?
Which one is most representative of you when you are disappointed? The prayless elders who make demands?
OR
The prayerful judge who seeks the wisdom of the LORD?
