last night we looked at the end of the life of saul. the night was sponsored by this guy. and really not so much by this guy...but by his most notable phrase..."i pity the fool"
the night was brought to us by the phrase "i pity the fool" not because saul was dying...but because as his life was coming to an end, he was convinced that God had turned away from him and would not answer him...when in reality God was right there, but saul's unconfessed sin and disobedience issue was keeping him from connecting with God.
isaiah 59 gives insight to this where it says...
"Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, not his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things."
and so we must ask ourselves...when we feel like God has turned away from us and will not answer us...are there unconfessed sins and disobediences that are keeping us from fully connecting with him.
because we can be assured that if there is sin and disobedience in our lives, it will causes barriers and disconnection with God.
