In Part 1 (see last week's message) we noticed how Israel was in crisis. The people had called for a king, and we saw: 1. THE DECLINE IN THE NATION THAT SAMUEL ENCOUNTERED Rev Elliott brings us Part 2 of this study, and looks at: 2. THE DISCLOSURE THAT SAMUEL MADE Notice that Samuel didn`t retort quickly - he took it to the Lord in prayer - that is good counsel for us when we face things in our lives. i) The SUBSTANCE Of It a) to tell them they can have a king - Samuel was probably amazed, but we don`t always hear from God what we want to hear. b) to protest and tell them the kind of king they would have ii) The SOURCE Of It a) Primary source - God v 7 b) Secondary source - Samuel iii) The SPECIFICS Of It It was threefold and it concerned their: a)children b)possessions c)servants This king was not for GIVING but for TAKING! Contrast with God, Who delights to give. iv) The SEVERITY Of It There is such a thing as God letting us have our way to our own cost 3. THE DISREGARD SAMUEL WITNESSED How it was: i) Manifested v 19 ii) Aggravated v 20 - they wanted to be like the other nations. Christians should not seek conformity with this world iii)Handled - v21 Samuel went back to the Lord again to seek His Will. He confided in God and was comforted in that he knew he was doing God's Will. Got a crisis in our lives? We would do well to learn from Samuel in a crisis! Seek God's honour & Will - keep close to Him.
