OVERCOMING THE WORLD:
THE RISE AND FALL OF SAUL
DAY four
1 Sam. 11
MEDITATION
The personality of Saul has been the primary focus of our study. We saw how Saul rose to power and now Saul is given the opportunity to manifest his leadership skills. God used Saul to fulfill his leadership roles. As Christians we should earnestly desire to be used by God to further his kingdom. God gives Saul everything he needs to rule well. God affirms Saul’s kingship, equips him with the Holy Spirit so he might be successful. However, Saul eventually failed and that was Saul’s fault.
