Title: Wrong Sources

(S) cripture:
    1 Chronicles 10:13-14 (NLT2) So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD. He failed to obey the LORD’s command, and he even consulted a medium 14 instead of asking the LORD for guidance. So the LORD killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

(O) bservation:
    Saul sought advice and direction from a medium instead of going to the Lord. For that and not keeping the commands of the Lord, Saul died a terrible death in battle. The Lord is serious about obedience and staying away from the occult. Those things cost Saul his life and kingdom.

(A) pplication:
    The occult has become somewhat a normal part of life. Many Christians read their horoscope every day. Many people seek out mediums in an effort to speak to a dead loved one. We see it innocuous and humorous at times and yet God takes this very seriously. I think we should reevaluate. I want my priorities to be in line with the Lord’s. I have never been a fan of horoscopes or other occultic practices and for that I thank the Lord for his protection.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, I thank you that you alone are enough, and I need no other source especially those from the dark side. My desire is to walk in the light with you at all times. Amen
