Bible Question:
1 Chr 10:14 mentioned that Saul did not inquire of the Lord, thus he was killed. However, this conclusion contradicts to the description on 1 Sam 28:6. Can anyone explain? Your help is very much appreciated. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: What we see in 1 Sam 28:6 is what occurs many times in the Christian Church. Man seeking God the same God they rejected previously. In 1 Sam 28:6 Saul is desperate he looking for help so he turns to God that he has rejected so many times before and expects God to bail him out of trouble. Notice also that Saul did not persevere in this, but instead turned to a medium which God clearly forbid. I believe this shows Saul was not seeking God because he thought God was his only answer but was seeking anyone that would bail him out of his situation. So while it appears Saul inquired of God in fact all he was doing was running to anyone that might help. Anyone was good enough if they responded to him. Too many today want God's help when things are upside down but when things are right they are too busy for God. And they get mad if God doesn't answer when they expect Him too, so they seek out mediums that say give to me and I will seek God for you. Then the medium lying says thus sayth the Lord and they people call them great men of God. You can only inquire of God when you are in relationship with God! God will bring you into relationship but you must nourish that relationship to have one. |
