Still Thinking?

1 Samuel 27:5-7
“He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or urim or prophets. Saul said to his attendants, ‘Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.”

Who thinks he might harvest from a farm of radish some delicious fruits?
Who thinks he can hear fresh news when he’s tuned in to a different frequency?
Who thinks he'll have a hundred percent commitment from an extra marital affair?
Who thinks honorary credits for a work medially accomplished?

Saul has been sowing bad seeds of murder and malice and now he’s crying for a miracle to lift him from this war. He really thinks so?
Truth is, he wasn’t striving for God’s mercy. He just wanted a way out.
Saul has been snubbing God’s message and messengers and now he consulted a medium for God’s list of what to do. What was he thinking?
Tell me, was he really seeking God’s will, or was he more waiting for an alternate answer?

God allows suffering, but that doesn’t mean He likes us hanging for our lives.
Think again. We may have crossed the line of sin. What we need is not an easy fix, but His forgiveness.
God may be silent, but that doesn’t mean He left us hanging without a clue.
Think again. We always have His revealed word. Don't give the excuse of waiting when obedience is next in line.
