A Taste of Honey

On the heels of victory against the Philistines, Saul found himself waging a new battle—a spiritual war within his own heart. His desire to vanquish enemies in his own strength led him to place a rash oath on the Israelites. This foolish decision led the people to obey man-made laws rather than God's divine commands. Saul's failed leadership reminds us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the one true King who never fails or disappoints His people.
