In briefly considering Saul and Solomon, what spiritual hazards should we avoid?

[Austin]

We need to follow God and should not have fear of man and what man might say.

[Austin]

Pride and following idols/gods

[Austin]

We must avoid the spiritual hazard of pride. We must avoid the spiritual hazard of seeking the approval of people more than the approval of God. We must avoid the spiritual hazards of seeking the pleasures of this world instead of seeking the will of God.

[Austin]

Relying on our own strength. When we rely on ourself instead of God, pride and self-centeredness can engulf us and we lose sight of God’s desires and plan. We become focused on our self, be it power, approval, satisfaction, instead of focused on the God of eternity.

[Austin]

They both worshipped idols- we need to be aware of what Satan is putting in our lives that might become our own idols.
