What do You have to say?

1 Samuel 14:

Saul was impulsive in his actions. Should the priest have not stop him, he would have just went to plunder the Philistines. Seeking God's opinion, he found out that there are things that he needs to set right before God... Sin...
In our daily lives are we like Saul, impulsive in out doings that we forgot to ask God what does He has to say... We seldom consult His Words and just do what we think is right... Often we get ourselves into dire situations, hurting people around us...
So today, let us just seek God's heart, wait upon him... do not be rash...

Dare to trust

The first quiet time for 2012: 1 Samuel 13

Waiting in Obedience.

Saul, the first king of Israel took things into his own hands and burnt the sacrifice before the war which only prophet Samuel is supposed to do. Taking things into his own hands, Saul was despised by God and his kingdom was taken from him. If Saul would have waited, things would turn out fine. Well, could it be that this is the year God is telling me,"Wait, don't make any rash decision... Wait and I will show you my plans for you..." If we dare to take the risk to trust God, His plans that give us hope and a future will be fulfilled in our lives...

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you,"declares the LORD. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Dare to trust.
