Part 2 Do You Excuse Disobedience?
In Part 1, Saul was anointed and appointed by God the King of Israel. His humility soon turned to pride and excuses for not obeying God’s commands. The proof of a good King was his obedience to God’s command and rejection of idol worship. The same proof applies to us today. Obedience to God is the key to our relationship and approval from God. Overcoming excuses and pride takes work on our part but becomes easier the more we dwell in the Word, obey it, and grieve over sin.
