In briefly considering Saul and Solomon, what spiritual hazards should we avoid?
-
1. Focusing on ourselves
2. Unity and love for the world -
Saul reminds us that title is not enough to make on a leader. Solomon teaches us that wisdom is doomed to fail without submission to God.
-
They both disobeyed God and allowed the position of power Saul with his anger and Solomon with his wealth and wives. The spiritual hazard of arrogance and power is a warning to us all. Leadership is best with service and humility.
-
Not following the wisdom of God and instead allowing our selfish nature and the influence of others direct our paths.
-
In Saul, envy and jealousy.
In Solomon, selfishness. Materialistic. Separation from God.
