Title/ People Who Like God
Text/ Acts 13:21-23
A virgin lives in the nearest neighbor, but the reason I marry a girl from another place is because I like her.
The reason I go to different places to buy clothes is to buy the clothes I like.
There are many restaurants in our neighborhood, but the reason I drive far away is to buy my favorite food.
As long as you like it, it's a bit pricey, but it doesn't matter.
Two kings of Israel are mentioned in today's text.
Saul and David both ruled the country for 40 years.
However, “David” liked God, but “Saul” did not like God.
“I found David, a man after my own heart” Verse 22
“I have already rejected Saul from being king over Israel” (1 Samuel 16:1).
I hope that you will become a child that is pleasing to God and enjoy your father's things to the fullest.
1, Why was King Saul not pleased with God? (because the beginning and the end were different)
1) Read the figure of the humble man Saul (1 Samuel 9:16-21)
(1 Samuel 9:21) “Saul answered and said, I am a Benjaminite, the least of the
No, is not my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin?
Why do you say these things to me?”
When Samuel was about to anoint him as king, as God had commanded, Saul's humble answer was
Why do you say such terrific things to me, the smallest and weakest of our family or family, who has no honor, no power, no power to claim?
I could see the humble figure of Saul, who knew his situation better than anyone else.
(1 Samuel 10:25-27) “When he became king, he was despised by some, and yet he remained silent.”
In the early days, he showed the image of a leader who could endure quietly even though he was despised by non-ryu.
2) An image of proud Saul building a monument for himself (1 Samuel 15:10-12)
When God commanded the war against Amalek, he said not to leave any. (15:3)
Because the Amalekites were a cruel people who tormented the Israelites, God commanded that all of them be destroyed.
But they left good things in the name of offering sacrifices to God (15:9)
He commanded complete severance from worldly things, but by destroying only worthless things and leaving behind good things, he acted according to his own thoughts, so he bought the wrath of God.
He even erected a “monument” to reveal his work. (15:12)
Although he was rebuked by Samuel, he lost his original intention and did not listen to him because of his arrogance.
(Proverbs 16:18) "Pride is the beginning of destruction, and a haughty heart before falling."
We must remember that we have no choice but to live God's wrath by disobeying God's Word.
2, Why was David so pleased with God?
1) He had a right heart and obeyed God's commands (1 Kings 9:4)
speaking to Solomon
The evaluation of my life is revealed when I am absent or after I die.
David lived without shame before God, before all the people, and before his children.
2) I knew and lived the things of God with the greatest joy. (2 Samuel 6:16)
Bringing the Ark of the Covenant and Rejoicing
David who thoroughly prepared for the building of the temple (1 Kings 8:17) A person who prays (2 Samuel 7:27-) and praises;
3) He was a person who knew how to repent of his mistakes. (Psalm 51)
He said, "I have committed a great crime by doing this.
Please forgive the sins of your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.
Hani”
To live as a man after God's own heart,
I need to have eyes to see myself.
Ears must be opened to hear the prophet's advice.
There must be action to undo the mistake.
I hope that you will become saints who resemble David.
