Trying to expose my "teens" at the corps to the Bible stories many of us grew up with which laid such a foundation (i.e. Moses, Israelites, Jericho, Samuel hearing the YHWH in the middle of the night, King Saul, King David, the basics really). We've been reading a bit of 1 Samuel, and the other day I was reading 1 Samuel 15 in particular, the end, and the LORD was really painting a picture for me here. Saul is (as it has been shown to me) perhaps stammering "B-but I did obey the LORD" Samuel is giving the the word from the LORD "...Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king." and then Saul, devastated, the king blubbering in tears surely, on his hands and knees reaching desperately for Samuel not to turn away from him. The scene truely breaks my heart.
For some reason (Danielle said it best I think "We all suck") I'm having to remember how to be obedient, and I see (perhaps again) just what a great amount that has to do with hearing His voice.
