Even though God was interested in Saul, Saul was interested in other things. A Tale of Three Kings. “The Lord is my shepherd.” (Psalm 23:1) “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:16) “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (Psalm 118:22) “The Lord says to my lord: ‘Sit at my right hand … You are a priest forever.’” (Psalm 110:1,4). “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing … you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead … You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (Psalm 16:2,10,11) No giant problem, no diagnosis, no loss, no mistake in your life is bigger than God.“ They have credited David with tens of thousands … but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom.” (1 Samuel 18:8) Saul lost his throne in the kingdom of Israel because he saw it as his own kingdom, not God’s. David gained his throne in the kingdom of Israel because he saw it as God’s kingdom not his own. Jealous for Jesus more than you are jealous of others.
