Chapter8 of 1 Samuel
Read 8:10-18
: 19, but nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel.
Now, we always looking at other people and what they have that we never see what God is trying to bless us with. We can only see what others have, always rejecting are own promises that God has given us.
Now the Israelites have been going through the same thing over and over looking at each other and other people’s lives. Only the Israelites
IS66:4 so will I choose their delusions
And bring their fears on them;
Because, when I called, no one answered
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before my eyes/
And chose that in which I do not delight
Now when Israel entered the land of the Canaanites, they encountered the Canaanites city-state that was led by kings. Now Israel was enslaved at Canaanites. So they wanted to be like the Canaanites. They wanted someone they could see someone they could touch. Not realizing that God was there king. Now the elders of Israel had am against Samuel and started naming things to back up for why they should have a king to rule over them. So they said “look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways” Then they said “Now make a king us a king to judge us like all the other nations.
Now you can tell that they were judging themselves up against other nations (Canaanites) that had kings. Not realizing that God was king. Now Samuel had told them that there king was going to turn evil up against them and take all half of everything they had.
But they did not heed what he was saying and still demanded a king.
Now they demanded a king like Hannah did for a son.
