1 Samuel 7-8

Be careful what you ask for.  Sometimes God will say "yes" to our pleas - but only to show us how pitiful and short-sighted we are.

I'm stunned at God's patience.  The people cry out for a king ... but not one with a capital "K".

  1. The people's cry for a King was rooted in the desire to be like everyone else - the very thing God had commanded against.

    In what ways are we tempted to desire to be like everyone else - especially when it means foregoing God in order to do so?
