"Then Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD. Now Saul said, 'Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light; and let us not leave a man of them.' And they [the people] said, 'Do whatever seems good to you.' Then the priest said, 'Let us draw near to God.' So Saul asked counsel of God...But He did not answer him that day."
I Samuel 14:35-37
Saul seemed to have a divided heart. He wanted to look religious so he built an altar and worshiped. But in the everyday decisions of life, God was left out. It was only at the prompting of the preacher that he had an "Oh yeah" moment. Seeking God's counsel was not high on his list of priorities. It was only an afterthought. Perhaps this was why God did not answer. He saw Saul's heart. Lord Jesus, above all I want your direction in my life.
Today's Thought: Worship means nothing if I leave God out of the rest of my life.
Have a seeking day. Love you.
