1 Samuel is about three people. Samuel, Saul and David. Samuel was obedient, was God’s instrument, and experienced deliverance. Saul was disobedient, was God’s instrument, and experienced destruction. David was obedient, was God’s instrument, and experienced deliverance.
My attitudes and actions do not determine God’s ultimate victory, but they do determine my ultimate destiny. Everything depends on me and my choices regarding my earthly destiny. Nothing depends on me regarding God’s ultimate victory. God uses all people, loyal and rebellious, to produce His ultimate purposes. However we determine the outcome of our lives by our attitudes and responses to Him.
Lord, Help me make choices that honor you today!
