Taking hold of something in the physical sense means to grasp securely and with force. In a spiritual sense, taking hold is an intentional decision and an effort to be diligent about something. If we are going to live wisely and victoriously, we have to take hold of spiritual principles. If we are to live that life, we have to be word driven, not culturally driven. Isaiah talks about pursuing and laying hold of the strength of God. When we take hold of the right thing it can bring us into the right place.

Abraham and Lot had grown so prosperous that they could no longer stay together; the land would not support them. When they separated, Lot chose the well-watered plains and moved toward Sodom. Sodom and Gamora were large metropolitan areas. Lot is drawn to Sodom and begins to assimilate into their culture. There is nothing inherently wrong with Lot wanting the well-watered plain, but at some point, He began to listen to voices other than his uncle Abraham who was the man of God in his life. Lot was richly blessed because of his association with Abraham. He did not do it on his own. God determined to destroy Sodom and Gamora because of their wickedness. Abraham begins to negotiate with God not to destroy the city if they can find some righteous men. Lot and his family were spared because of a father that would not let go.

When God calls a man or woman, He knows what he is doing. He does not make mistakes. Saul was brilliant and able to lead. The tragedy of Saul’s life is not that he was ill-prepared or lacking in resources, but that Saul misunderstood the calling on his life. God did not call Saul to be king, but to be a captain on the battlefield for God’s people. Saul circumvented Samuel and went his own way. It is never wise to go around the man of God in your life. Even after God chose David to be king, Saul continued to hold on to a role that was never meant to be his. Bro. Huckaby preaches on the tragedy of a misplaced purpose.
