looking for a leader

When Samuel was old, the people decided that they wanted a real leader to lead them. Someone who would fight their battles for them, or at least tell them which way to go.

Of course, God was their king and their leader, but that was not the same, not like other people had.

It is easy for us to see where they were wrong in rejecting the kingship of God, but how often do we seek someone else to fight our battle for us?

We come to think that it would be so much better if we relied on someone else, but we never know, or count what it costs us in the long term. Are we guilty of the same things that they were?

Let us continue to make sure the Lord is our King.
