Prayer Tips
Jesus prayed in Gethsemane
Mat 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
When trusting God for an answer in prayer, ask other Children of God to trust God with you.
Pray God’s will over your life.
Check if others are still praying for you.
Pray to guard yourself against temptation.
Pray even if you are dead tired , have prayer discipline.
Pray several times until you receive peace as confirmation that God heard your prayer request.
After prayer, accept God’s answer, even if it is a NO. Jesus shows the time and place for prayer.
Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Pray at quiet times, early in the morning late at night, undisturbed Jesus prayed alone in God’s presence.
Mark 6:46. and when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
Pray alone and undisturbed. Jesus prayed in the garden
Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
Die offers van God is ‘n gebroke gees; ‘n gebroke en verslae hart sal U nie verag nie, o God.
Psalm 51:17
Gebed
Here, dankie dat U Nooit sal toesig hou oor ‘n Gebroke gees of ‘n Berouvolle Hart nie. Dankie dat U dit as ‘n Opoffering aan U sien. en ‘n offer aan jou is meer waardevol as enige ander skatte in die heelal. Dankie in Jesus Naam. Amen en Amen
Gebed Wenke
Jesus het in Getsemane gebid
Mat 26:36 Toe kom Jesus saam met hulle na ‘n plek met die naam van Getsemane en sê vir die dissipels: Sit hier terwyl Ek daar gaan bid.
37 En hy het Petrus en die twee seuns van Sebedéüs saamgeneem en bedroef en baie swaar begin word.
38 Toe sê Hy vir hulle: My siel is baie bedroef tot die dood toe; bly hier en waak saam met My.
39 En Hy het ‘n bietjie verder gegaan en op sy aangesig geval en gebid en gesê: My Vader, as dit moontlik is, laat hierdie beker by My verbygaan; nogtans nie soos Ek wil nie, maar soos U wil.
40 En Hy het na die dissipels gekom en hulle aan die slaap gevind en vir Petrus gesê: Wat, kon julle nie een uur saam met My waak nie?
41 Waak en bid, dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie; die gees is wel gewillig, maar die vlees is swak.
42 Hy het weer vir die tweede keer weggegaan en gebid en gesê: My Vader, as hierdie beker nie by My verbygaan as Ek dit nie drink nie, laat u wil geskied.
43 En hy het gekom en hulle weer aan die slaap gevind, want hulle oë was swaar.
44 En hy het hulle verlaat en weer weggegaan en vir die derde keer gebid en dieselfde woorde gesê.
Wanneer jy God vertrou vir ‘n antwoord in gebed, vra ander kinders van God om God saam met jou te vertrou.
Bid God se wil oor jou lewe.
Kyk of ander nog vir jou bid.
Bid om jouself teen versoeking te waak.
Bid al is jy doodmoeg, het gebedsdissipline.
Bid verskeie kere totdat jy vrede ontvang as bevestiging dat God jou gebedsversoek gehoor het.
Na gebed, aanvaar God se antwoord, al is dit ‘n NEE. Jesus wys die tyd en plek vir gebed.
MARKUS 1:35 En in die môre, ‘n lang tyd voor die dag, het Hy opgestaan en uitgegaan en na ‘n eensame plek gegaan en daar gebid.
Bid in stil tye, vroeg in die oggend laat in die nag, ongestoord het Jesus alleen in God se teenwoordigheid gebid.
Markus 6:46. en nadat Hy hulle weggestuur het, het Hy na die berg gegaan om te bid.
Bid alleen en ongestoord. Jesus het in die tuin gebid

Today’s Devotional
“BEWARE!”
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1Peter 5:8)
We must however be aware that the prowling lion comes in different disguises. Allow me to touch on s few things believers should be aware or beware of.
Beware of self-righteousness or thinking you are in right-standing with God. The self-righteous is convinced of his or her own righteousness, especially when comparing themselves with the actions and beliefs of others. “If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.” (Galatians 6:3)
Beware of foolish strive for perfection or holiness. You cannot be perfected or become holy in your own power or by your own doing. “You began your life in Christ by the Spirit. Now are you trying to make it complete by your own power? That is foolish.” (Galatians 3:3 – NCV)
Beware of pride. “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty (high and mighty or arrogant) spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16: 18)
Beware of becoming like those or the World around you. In Ephesians 5:15 we are warned to be careful how we live. Also, in Romans 12:2 we are taught not to conform to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
Beware of wilful sin. If you know or even suspect that something is wrong or an abomination, do not do it. “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left.” (Hebrews 10:26)
Beware of speaking idle words. Jesus said that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. (Matthew 12:36) Ephesians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
Beware of unbelief or not believing. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. In Titus 1:16 we read of those who profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient. Do not follow every person claiming to be send by God. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” (Matthew 7:15 – NIV)
Let us take heed of these warnings and instructions and allow God, who began the good work in us to continue until he completes it on the day when Jesus Christ comes again. (Philippians 1:6)
Vandag se Bemoediging
“PASOP!”
“Wees nugter en waaksaam, want julle teëstander, die duiwel, loop rond soos ‘n brullende leeu en soek wie hy kan verslind.” (1 Petrus 5:8)
Ons moet egter daarop let dat die brullende leeu in verskillende gedaantes kom. Laat my toe om u te wys op ‘n paar dinge waarvoor gelowiges moet oppas.
Pasop vir eiegeregtigheid of om te dink dat jy in die regte verhouding met God is. Die eiegeregtige is oortuig van sy of haar eie geregtigheid, veral wanneer hulle hulself met die optrede en oortuigings van ander vergelyk. “Want as iemand meen dat hy iets is, terwyl hy niks is nie, mislei hy homself.” (Galasiërs 6:3)
Pasop vir ‘n dwase strewe na volmaaktheid of heiligheid. Jy kan nie volmaak wees of heilig word in jou eie krag of deur jou eie toedoen nie. “Hoe kan julle so dwaas wees? Wil julle dit wat die Gees in julle begin het, nou uit eie krag probeer klaarmaak?” (Galasiërs 3:3 – NLV)
Pasop vir trots. “Hoogmoed lei tot ondergang. Hooghartigheid kom net voor die val.” (Spreuke 16:18)
Pasop om soos diegene of die wêreld rondom jou te word. In Efesiërs 5:15 word ons gewaarsku om versigtig te wees hoe ons lewe. Ook in Romeine 12:2 word ons aangesê om nie aan hierdie wêreld gelykvormig nie te word nie, maar verander te word deur die vernuwing van ons gemoed, sodat ons kan beproef wat die goeie en welgevallige en volmaakte wil van God is.
Pasop vir opsetlike sonde. As jy weet of selfs vermoed dat iets verkeerd is, moenie dit doen nie. “Want as ons opsetlik sondig, nadat ons die kennis van die waarheid ontvang het, bly daar geen offer vir die sondes meer oor nie.” (Hebreërs 10:26)
Pasop vir wat jy spreek. Jesus het gesê dat almal op die oordeelsdag rekenskap sal moet gee vir elke ydele woord wat hulle gespreek het. (Matteus 12:36) Efesiërs 4:29 sê: “Moenie enige vuil taal gebruik nie. Gebruik eerder die regte, opbouende woorde wat nodig is om dié wat luister, te bevoordeel.” (NLV)
Pasop vir ongeloof of om nie te glo nie. “Sonder geloof is dit onmoontlik om God te behaag; want hy wat tot God gaan, moet glo dat Hy is en ‘n beloner is van die wat Hom soek.” (Hebreërs 11:6)
Pasop vir wolwe in skaapsklere. In Titus 1:16 lees ons van diegene wat bely dat hulle God ken; maar in werke verloën hulle Hom, omdat hulle gruwelik en ongehoorsaam is. Moenie elke persoon volg wat beweer dat hy deur God gestuur is nie. “Maar pas op vir die valse profete wat in skaapsklere na julle kom en van binne roofsugtige wolwe is. Aan hulle vrugte sal julle hulle ken.” (Matteus 7:15)
Kom ons neem kennis van hierdie waarskuwings en instruksies en laat God, wat ‘n goeie werk in ons begin het, dit voleindig tot op die dag van Jesus Christus. (Filippense 1:6)

Bible Prophecy in the News
A Passover Seder is the most observed ritual by Jews the world over, even more popular than attending synagogue on Yom Kippur.
The Seder (literally order) is held around a table, and the story of the Exodus is relived by using many symbols. For example, we eat bitter herbs as a reminder of the embittered lives that the Israelites experienced.
We dip a vegetable in salt water and eat it as a reminder of the tears that were shed.
It is a complicated evening that lasts for hours, but it is one of the most exciting evenings on the Jewish calendar.
Both children and adults look forward to this night. It is very special and holy.
Towards the end of the Seder we move away from reliving the past and focus on the future.
We express our deepest longing for the arrival of Elijah the Prophet, who will herald the Messianic era, as the verse says: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord” (Malachi 4:5).
Towards the end of the Seder, we rise from our seats while one of us goes and opens the door to greet Elijah. We even fill a cup of wine for him at the table!
As a child I always wondered why we needed to open the door for him. After all, if we can’t see him, can’t he just go right through the door or at least sneak under the crack on the bottom? What is the message behind opening the door?
Signs of the Times in the News
If Trump Is Preparing To Strike Iran, What Is Witkoff Doing?
The US has continued to move more and more heavy equipment in the Middle East, including B-52 bombers and F-35s as well as increased naval strikes in the Persian Gulf area in an attempt to pressure Iran into giving up its nuclear ambitions. No country in the world would move these sorts of military assets to a region unless they were seriously about to use them. So if this is the case, why did Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s special envoy claim that the US was open to compromise and only seeking to prevent weaponization of their nuclear program – similar to the Obama era goal and redline?
Gog and Magog Update
The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday attacked a Hamas command-and-control center in the area of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where numerous terrorists were planning to carry out attacks, according to the military.
Steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
Hours earlier, the IDF attacked a Hamas command center in Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.

Introduction to the Bible – Bible Summary
Summary of the Book of 1
Samuel
Author: The author is anonymous. We know that Samuel wrote a book (1 Samuel
10:25), and it is very possible that he wrote part of this book as well. Other possible
contributors to 1 Samuel are the prophets/historians Nathan and Gad (1 Chronicles
29:29).
Date of Writing: Originally, the books of 1 and 2 Samuel were one book. The
translators of the Septuagint separated them, and we have retained that separation ever
since. The events of 1 Samuel span approximately 100 years, from c. 1100 B.C. to c. 1000
B.C. The events of 2 Samuel cover another 40 years. The date of writing, then, would be
sometime after 960 B.C.
Purpose of Writing: First Samuel records the history of Israel in the land of Canaan as
they move from the rule of judges to being a unified nation under kings. Samuel
emerges as the last judge, and he anoints the first two kings, Saul and David.
Key Verses:
“But when they said, ‘Give us a king to lead us,’ this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to
the LORD. And the LORD told him: ‘Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is
not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king’” (1 Samuel 8:6-7).
“’You acted foolishly,’ Samuel said. ‘You have not kept the command the LORD your
God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all
time. But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his
own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the
LORD’s command’” (1 Samuel 13:13-14).
“But Samuel replied: ‘Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as
in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better
than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil
of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as
king’” (1 Samuel 15:22-23).
Brief Summary: The book of 1 Samuel can be neatly divided into two sections: the life
of Samuel (chapters 1-12) and the life of Saul (chapters 13-31).
The book starts with the miraculous birth of Samuel in answer to his mother’s earnest
prayer. As a child, Samuel lived and served in the temple. God singled him out as a
prophet (3:19-21), and the child’s first prophecy was one of judgment on the corrupt
priests.
The Israelites go to war with their perennial enemies, the Philistines. The Philistines
capture the ark of the covenant and are in temporary possession of it, but when the
Lord sends judgment, the Philistines return the ark. Samuel calls Israel to repentance
(7:3-6) and then to victory over the Philistines.
The people of Israel, wanting to be like other nations, desire a king. Samuel is displeased
by their demands, but the Lord tells him that it is not Samuel’s leadership they are
rejecting, but His own. After warning the people of what having a king would mean,
Samuel anoints a Benjamite named Saul, who is crowned in Mizpah (10:17-25).
Saul enjoys initial success, defeating the Ammonites in battle (chapter 11). But then he
makes a series of missteps: he presumptuously offers a sacrifice (chapter 13), he makes a
foolish vow at the expense of his son Jonathan (chapter 14), and he disobeys the Lord’s
direct command (chapter 15). As a result of Saul’s rebellion, God chooses another to
take Saul’s place. Meanwhile, God removes His blessing from Saul, and an evil spirit
begins goading Saul toward madness (16:14).
Samuel travels to Bethlehem to anoint a youth named David as the next king (chapter
16). Later, David has his famous confrontation with Goliath the Philistine and becomes a
national hero (chapter 17). David serves in Saul’s court, marries Saul’s daughter, and is
befriended by Saul’s son. Saul himself grows jealous of David’s success and popularity,
and he attempts to kill David. David flees, and so begins an extraordinary period of
adventure, intrigue, and romance. With supernatural aid, David narrowly but consistently
eludes the bloodthirsty Saul (chapters 19-26). Through it all, David maintains his
integrity and his friendship with Jonathan.
Near the end of the book, Samuel has died, and Saul is a lost man. On the eve of a
battle with Philistia, Saul seeks for answers. Having rejected God, he finds no help from
heaven, and he seeks counsel from a medium instead. During the seance, Samuel’s spirit
rises from the dead to give one last prophecy: Saul would die in battle the next day. The
prophecy is fulfilled; Saul’s three sons, including Jonathan, fall in battle, and Saul
commits suicide.
Foreshadowings: The prayer of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2:1-10 makes several prophetic
references to Christ. She extols God as her Rock (v. 2), and we know from the gospel
accounts that Jesus is the Rock upon whom we should build our spiritual houses. Paul
refers to Jesus as the “rock of offense” to the Jews (Romans 9:33). Christ is called the
“spiritual Rock” who provided spiritual drink to the Israelites in the wilderness just as He
provides “living water” to our souls (1 Corinthians 10:4; John 4:10). Hannah’s prayer also
makes reference to the Lord who will judge the ends of the earth (v. 2:10),
while Matthew 25:31-32 refers to Jesus as the Son of Man who will come in glory to
judge everyone.
Practical Application: The tragic story of Saul is a study in wasted opportunity. Here
was a man who had it all—honor, authority, riches, good looks, and more. Yet he died in
despair, terrified of his enemies and knowing he had failed his nation, his family, and his
God.
Saul made the mistake of thinking he could please God through disobedience. Like
many today, he believed that a sensible motive will compensate for bad behavior.
Perhaps his power went to his head, and he began to think he was above the rules.
Somehow he developed a low opinion of God’s commands and a high opinion of
himself. Even when confronted with his wrongdoing, he attempted to vindicate himself,
and that’s when God rejected him (15:16-28).
Saul’s problem is one we all face—a problem of the heart. Obedience to God’s will is
necessary for success, and if we in pride rebel against Him, we set ourselves up for loss.
David, on the other hand, did not seem like much at first. Even Samuel was tempted to
overlook him (16:6-7). But God sees the heart and saw in David a man after His own
heart (13:14). The humility and integrity of David, coupled with his boldness for the Lord
and his commitment to prayer, set a good example for all of us.
Inleiding tot die Bybel – Bybel Samevattings
Opsomming van die Boek 1
Samuel
Skrywer: Die skrywer is anoniem. Ons weet dat Samuel ‘n boek geskryf het ( 1 Samuel
10:25 ), en dit is baie moontlik dat hy ook ‘n deel van hierdie boek geskryf het. Ander
moontlike bydraers tot 1 Samuel is die profete/geskiedskrywers Natan en Gad ( 1
Kronieke 29:29 ).
Datum van Skrywe: Oorspronklik was die boeke van 1 en 2 Samuel een boek. Die
vertalers van die Septuagint het hulle geskei, en ons het daardie skeiding sedertdien
behou. Die gebeure van 1 Samuel strek oor ongeveer 100 jaar, vanaf c. 1100 vC tot c.
1000 vC Die gebeure van 2 Samuel dek nog 40 jaar. Die datum van skryf sou dus iewers
na 960 vC wees.
Doel van Skrywe: Eerste Samuel teken die geskiedenis van Israel in die land Kanaän op
terwyl hulle van die heerskappy van regters na ‘n verenigde nasie onder konings
beweeg. Samuel kom na vore as die laaste regter, en hy salf die eerste twee konings,
Saul en Dawid.
Sleutelverse:
“Maar toe hulle sê: Gee vir ons ‘n koning om ons te lei, het dit Samuel mishaag; daarom
het hy tot die HERE gebid. En die HERE het vir hom gesê: Luister na alles wat die volk vir
jou sê; dit is nie jou wat hulle verwerp het nie, maar hulle het My as hulle koning
verwerp” ( 1 Samuel 8:6-7 ).
“‘Jy het dwaas opgetree,’ het Samuel gesê. Jy het die gebod wat die HERE jou God jou
gegee het, nie gehou nie; as jy gehad het, sou Hy jou koningskap oor Israel vir altyd
bevestig het. Maar nou sal u koninkryk nie bestaan nie; die HERE het ‘n man na sy hart
gesoek en hom as leier van sy volk aangestel, omdat jy die bevel van die HERE nie
gehou het nie’” ( 1 Samuel 13:13-14 ).
“Maar Samuel het geantwoord: Het die HERE behae in brandoffers en slagoffers net
soveel as in gehoorsaamheid aan die stem van die HERE? Om gehoorsaam te wees is
beter as offer, en om ag te slaan is beter as die vet van ramme. Want opstandigheid is
soos die sonde van waarsêery, en arrogansie soos die boosheid van afgodediens. Omdat
jy die woord van die HERE verwerp het, het Hy jou as koning verwerp'” ( 1 Samuel 15:22-
23 ).
Kort samevatting: Die boek 1 Samuel kan netjies in twee afdelings verdeel word: die
lewe van Samuel (hoofstukke) . 1-12) en die lewe van Saul (hoofstukke 13-31)
begin met die wonderbaarlike geboorte van Samuel in antwoord op sy moeder se
ernstige gebed ‘n profeet (3:19-21), en die kind se eerste profesie was een van die
oordeel oor die korrupte priesters
daarvan, maar wanneer die Here oordeel stuur, gee die Filistyne die ark terug, roep
Samuel Israel tot bekering (7:3-6) en dan tot oorwinning oor die Filistyne,
wat soos ander nasies wil wees koning Samuel is ontevrede oor hulle eise, maar die
Here sê vir hom dat dit nie Samuel se leierskap is wat hulle verwerp nie, maar Sy eie.
Nadat hy die mense gewaarsku het oor wat dit sou beteken om ‘n koning te hê, salf
Samuel ‘n Benjaminiet met die naam van Saul, wat in Mispa gekroon word (10:17-25).
Saul geniet aanvanklike sukses en verslaan die Ammoniete in die geveg (hoofstuk 11).
Maar dan maak hy ’n reeks misstappe: hy bring aanmatigend ’n offer (hoofstuk 13), hy
doen ’n dwase gelofte ten koste van sy seun Jonatan (hoofstuk 14), en hy gehoorsaam
die Here se direkte opdrag (hoofstuk 15). As gevolg van Saul se rebellie kies God ‘n
ander om Saul se plek in te neem. Intussen verwyder God Sy seën van Saul, en ‘n bose
gees begin Saul tot waansin dryf (16:14).
Samuel reis na Betlehem om ‘n jong man met die naam Dawid as die volgende koning
te salf (hoofstuk 16). Later het Dawid sy beroemde konfrontasie met Goliat die Filistyn
en word ‘n nasionale held (hoofstuk 17). Dawid dien in Saul se hof, trou met Saul se
dogter en word bevriend met Saul se seun. Saul self raak jaloers op Dawid se sukses en
gewildheid, en hy probeer om Dawid dood te maak. David vlug, en so begin ‘n
buitengewone tydperk van avontuur, intriges en romanse. Met bonatuurlike hulp
ontwyk Dawid nou maar konsekwent die bloeddorstige Saul (hoofstukke 19-26). Deur
dit alles behou Dawid sy integriteit en sy vriendskap met Jonatan.
Na aan die einde van die boek is Samuel dood, en Saul is ‘n verlore man. Op die
vooraand van ‘n geveg met Filistië soek Saul na antwoorde. Nadat hy God verwerp het,
vind hy geen hulp uit die hemel nie, en hy soek eerder raad by ‘n medium. Tydens die
seans kom Samuel se gees op uit die dood om ‘n laaste profesie te gee: Saul sou die
volgende dag in die geveg sterf. Die profesie word vervul; Saul se drie seuns, insluitend
Jonatan, val in die geveg, en Saul pleeg selfmoord.
Voorafskaduwings: Die gebed van Hanna in 1 Samuel 2:1-10 maak verskeie profetiese
verwysings na Christus. Sy loof God as haar Rots (v. 2), en ons weet uit die
evangelieverslae dat Jesus die Rots is waarop ons ons geestelike huise moet bou. Paulus
verwys na Jesus as die “rots van aanstoot” vir die Jode ( Romeine 9:33 ). Christus word
die “geestelike Rots” genoem wat geestelike drank aan die Israeliete in die woestyn
verskaf het net soos Hy “lewende water” aan ons siele voorsien ( 1 Korintiërs 10:4 ;
Johannes 4:10 ). Hanna se gebed verwys ook na die Here wat die eindes van die aarde
sal oordeel (v. 2:10), terwyl Matteus 25:31-32 na Jesus verwys as die Seun van die mens
wat in heerlikheid sal kom om almal te oordeel.
Praktiese toepassing: Die tragiese verhaal van Saul is ‘n studie in verspilde
geleenthede. Hier was ‘n man wat dit alles gehad het—eer, gesag, rykdom, mooi
voorkoms en meer. Tog het hy in wanhoop gesterf, bang vir sy vyande en wetende dat
hy sy nasie, sy familie en sy God in die steek gelaat het.
Saul het die fout gemaak om te dink dat hy God deur ongehoorsaamheid kan behaag.
Soos baie vandag, het hy geglo dat ‘n sinvolle motief vir slegte gedrag sal vergoed.
Miskien het sy krag na sy kop gegaan, en hy het begin dink dat hy bo die reëls is. Op
een of ander manier het hy ‘n lae opinie van God se opdragte en ‘n hoë opinie van
homself ontwikkel. Selfs toe hy met sy oortreding gekonfronteer is, het hy probeer om
homself te regverdig, en dit is toe dat God hom verwerp het (15:16-28).
Saul se probleem is een wat ons almal in die gesig staar—’n probleem van die hart.
Gehoorsaamheid aan God se wil is nodig vir sukses, en as ons in trots teen Hom
rebelleer, stel ons onsself op vir verlies.
David, aan die ander kant, het aanvanklik nie na veel gelyk nie. Selfs Samuel was in die
versoeking om hom oor die hoof te sien (16:6-7). Maar God sien die hart en het in
Dawid ‘n man na sy hart gesien (13:14). Die nederigheid en integriteit van Dawid, tesame
met sy vrymoedigheid vir die Here en sy verbintenis tot gebed, het ‘n goeie voorbeeld
vir ons almal gestel.
