• 1 Samuel 1 (p.211)• 7:2-3 – Samuel’s leadership
• Samuel is devoted to the Lord.• Samuel gets his strength from obedience to God.
• 8:4-7 – Samuel is rejected• 10:20-24 – Saul becomes king.
• Saul is gifted and respectful.• Saul is insecure but strategic.
Adversity is a crossroads that makes a person choose one of two paths:
character or compromise.
John Maxwell
Every problem introduces you to yourself.
It shows you how you think and what you’re made of.
John Maxwell
Saul’s Compromises
• 13:10-12 – the burnt offering• Saul chose strategy over obedience.
• 15:7-15 – only doing half the job• Saul had excuses instead of remorse.• Result – insecurity grows
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
