Today we find David and six hundred men slaughtering people and and animals left and right. Also, we find Saul consulting a medium (witch) which, according to the New Testament, is forbidden. When he does this, up from the ground comes the spirit of Samuel who promptly tells Saul that David is taking over because Saul has not lived the life which God wanted him to do.
Will some spirit say that to your child? Will God someday say that because of your indiscretions and sins, that your son (or daughter) take YOUR place in the realm of life here on earth?
I hope that I can please God....I know that pleasing Him does not make my path to Heaven any more secure, but because my path IS secured by Jesus, that I WANT to please God. But, I also warn all, secure or not, one can fall out of favor with Jesus and lose that privilege we now have. Poor old Saul never had the chance. He couldn't repent and have Jesus once again bring him into his fold. Is Saul in Heaven? I have no idea. I hope so, but after reading today, I have my doubts.
And as you finish reading today, you will see that Saul takes his own life, that is, commits suicide. Catholics will tell you you do NOT go to Heaven if you do that....so...YOU figure it out, but in the meantime, enjoy your day.
