1 Samuel. Saul, in his insecurity, was too impatient to wait on God's timetable. By making the sacrifices himself, he sinned against God and cut off his future from God's blessing. It's a tragic story. I wonder how many times I have missed God's best because I got in a hurry.
Saul's son, Jonathan, had all the makings of a great leader. He was bold, took appropriate risks and didn't care who got the credit. His humility was countered by the pride and manipulations of Saul. Notice today's passage how Saul foolishly lays a requirement of "no food" on his men.
Are you tempted to just push harder when your plans aren't being blessed by God?
