God Doesn’t Answer Sin

Scripture 1 Sam 28:6 And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.

Observation: Saul has sinned greatly before God and he had been disobedient in what God called him to do. God won’t answer sin, if we are to sin we can’t expect God to answer us when we call out. God hates sin and that is why Jesus had to come and die for us. We need to be in communion with God and that means to be in His will, doing what He calls us to do and obeying His commands. Saul was doing the opposite and was paying for his sins, by the silence of the Lord. God told Saul in the beginning what he had to do and Saul didn’t listen and now God isn’t listening to Saul.

Application: I am a sinner and if I continue in my sins I can’t expect God to be there and hear me when I cry out. I know what I should be doing and I know God’s commands in my life and I need to hear from my Lord each day. It’s up to me if I’m going to be the person God wants to talk to or not. God doesn’t need me it is I that needs God.

Prayer: Dear Lord I need you and wouldn’t be able to go on without you. Please Lord speak to your servant and guide me, keep me from sinning and soften my heart taking any anger from me. I want to do what is right, I want to please you and I want to serve you. I love you Lord help me live a life that shows it.
