As we have been examining our tendency-s to follow after our own will over the will of God. We have been looking at first Samuel. We have seen that the decision of Samuels two Sons Joel and Abiah who he had appointed to be judges over Israel were doing so not according to Gods will but according to what they saw as pleasing to themselves. Thus what gave them the greatest reward- This stirred the people to ask Samuel for a King to rule over them. We saw that in 1 Samuel 8-6 -7 that even though Samuel was displeased with this request he took it to the Lord who instructed Samuel to give them a warning that they might be made aware of what they were asking, and when they continued to insist upon a king, a king is what would be given to them. The Lords warning given by Samuel can be found in 1 Samuel 8-10-18. This warning told of how the people under the rule of an earthly king would change. It told of how they would be taxed and some would be taken into service to the king and how many would have portions of the land taken and given to the king-s servants. I think we can see this practice today as the results of man choosing his will over Gods will. As we closed the first part of this message we were beginning to make the connections that God will give us warnings and instructions as to how we should live our lives. Yet when we being blinded fail to see what is clearly lying in our path ahead, thus our insisting that He give us that which He knows we do not need. He will allow us to travel that path providing the very thing we don-t need that hopefully we will come to see the mistake.
