about

1 Samuel 15:22-26

“But Samuel replied:
   ‘Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices 
   as much as in obeying the LORD? 
To obey is better than sacrifice, 
   and to heed is better than the fat of rams. 
For rebellion is like the sin of divination, 
   and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. 
Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, 
   he has rejected you as king.’
Then Saul said to Samuel, ‘I have sinned. I violated the LORD’s command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them. Now I beg you, forgive my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD.’
But Samuel said to him, ‘I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you as king over Israel!’ ”

Saul was more concerned about the consequences of his disobedience rather than the fact that he was disobedient. He put his own arrogance and pride above his fear for the Lord. He was choosing to put himself before God instead of trusting in God. As a result he had to face the hard truth that God takes our choices very seriously and was no longer to be the anointed king of Israel.

2 Chronicles 15:2 says “The LORD will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.”

It’s like the story of the prodigal son. When the son asked for his inheritance and left, the father let him go. It was the son’s choice. But the moment the father caught a glimpse of the son returning the father ran to meet him!

lyrics

I gave you all I had, a kingdom and a throne
I thought this love would last, don’t leave me here alone
I gave you all my love, but now you’ll walk alone
Forgive my grave mistake, don’t cast my heart to stone

(Instrumental)

All I asked was for you to love me
Find your own way back, why would you betray me

Find your own way home (x2)

I looked into your eyes and saw no good was left
You live to defy, your rage fuels your bloodlust
You’ve abandoned me so I’ll abandon you
You’ll be stripped from your throne... a phantom forced to roam

Find your own way home
(why don’t you close you’re eyes)
Find your own way home
(you don’t have to find out)
Find your own way home
(why don’t you close you’re eyes)
Find your own way home
(you don’t have to find out)

(Bridge - Instrumental)

Find your own way home
(why don’t you close you’re eyes)
Find your own way home
(you don’t have to find out)
Find your own way home
(why don’t you close you’re eyes)
Find your own way home
(you don’t have to find out)


All I asked was for you to love me...
