Saul is dead. Some will read this and have relief, believing that he got what was coming to him. Other's will read with confusion, wondering why he would have to die such a brutal death. Like David, Saul was a complete man with assets and liabilities.
It is the tale of two kings. Saul and David will have the same title by the end of their lives. Saul fed the beast of his own human nature. Eventually, it overtook him and he was removed from his leadership. David fed the beast of the Holy Spirit. Though his life was not perfect, we see him continually strive for a deeper relationship with God. Because of this, he lives under the endorsement from God as a man after His heart.
The same applies for us. We have a constant war inside our souls. One leads us to God, the other away from Him. What we have to be aware of, is which beast we choose to feed each day.
"Father, help me follow You today."
Heart and Soul,
BAG
