In 1 Samuel chapter 8, we see the people of God (Israelites) asking for a king to rule over them. This happened after Samuel makes his children judges and they didn’t walk according to the ways of their father. They took bribes and were dishonorable. The children of Israel wanted to be like other nations by having a king instead of letting Yahweh rule over them. God tells them through Samuel what their king was going to do when they rule over them. But with their hearts being hard, they still wanted their king. So God told Samuel to make someone king💔😭
Here’s a question.. who are you trying to have rule over your life instead of ABBA? He wants to rule over your life more than these false gods, mortal men, addictions etc.. if you’re His child, He wants that relationship with you and doesn’t want you to be like the world who’s looking for everything else to save them. Scripture says He is a jealous God! He’s not jealous like we can be jealous, but jealous as a wonderful and beautiful Creator who wants you and only you and for you to see that He wants to be your Father! Take heed and listen! Don’t turn to a president, a movement, people etc.. to save you, but turn to the Lord Jesus Christ today who wants to reign in your heart! God bless you all🙏🏾
