“When Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him ” (v6). Scripture is more than history. It is given to us to lead us to Christ, to keep us from sin and to correct us when needed. The picture we have of Saul warns us of the depths to which sin can take us. Jealousy and envy can destroy a king. Incidents can become patterns if we fail to accept correction. It was the heart of King Saul, filled with feelings against David, not God’s heart that hardened.
Correction resisted hardens one’s heart. When accepted, though never pleasant, it produces the “peaceful fruit of righteousness” (Heb. 12:11).
