Micmash

Theres a guy in the Bible named Saul

Theres a guy in the Bible named Saul. Saul was a unique individual. Very handsome, six feet, six inches tall, long, flowing black hair. He was the toast of the town, a great warrior, and very articulate. He was the King of Israel. That meant he led in all the battle strategies, and he was the man who was the point person for all of the fighting and all of the politics and the economy of Israel.

Well, King Saul was under the authority of Gods spokesperson named Samuel. And before King Saul could lead his troops into battle, he had to wait for Gods man, Samuel, to make sacrifices. One day, Saul was at a place called Micmash. Maybe youve felt you were up to your eyeballs in Micmash, I dont know. But the Philistines were pressing on Saul, and Sauls men were freaking out; they were getting very nervous.

Saul waited seven days for Gods man to show up to sacrifice. On the seventh day, Saul couldnt stand it any longer, so Saul dissed his authority figure, Samuel. Saul dissed God. And Saul made the sacrifices. After the sacrifice was over, guess who showed up at the last moment? Samuel, Gods man. And Samuel said, Saul, what are you thinking? Have you lost your mind?

If you have your Bibles turned to the book of 1 Samuel 13:11-12. What have you done? asked Samuel. Saul replied, When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Micmash, I thought, Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the Lords favor. So Ed Young Pastor felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.

Doesnt that sound familiar? When I rebel against authority; when I do the Heisman and do the pushback and jump in my kayak and paddle where I want to paddle; when I paddle away from authority, what do I say? I say, I sawI thoughtI felt. Im under Gods authority and I say, I sawI thoughtI felt.

I look at what Ed wants to do. I look within myself. I survey the situation visually, then mentally and then emotionally. And I say, Well, Im going to do what I have to do. Im the master of my own universe. I sovereignly rule over my life. I call the shots. I know whats best for me. I sawI thoughtI felt. I sawI thoughtI felt.
