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. <\/p>\n
Observation: Saul has sinned greatly before God and he had been disobedient in what God called him to do. God won\u2019t answer sin, if we are to sin we can\u2019t 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\u2019t listen and now God isn\u2019t listening to Saul.<\/p>\n
Application: I am a sinner and if I continue in my sins I can\u2019t expect God to be there and hear me when I cry out. I know what I should be doing and I know God\u2019s commands in my life and I need to hear from my Lord each day. It\u2019s up to me if I\u2019m going to be the person God wants to talk to or not. God doesn\u2019t need me it is I that needs God.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord I need you and wouldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
