Significance of a Faithful Father

I read one of the saddest commentaries about King Saul this morning in my devotion time from 1 Chronicles 10.

Here is what the scripture says in vv. 13-14: "So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it, and did not inquire of the Lord. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse."

Did you catch that? God killed Saul. Though that is very sad, the other sad part is that Saul's sons died as well in the battle against the Philistines.

The significance of the faithfulness of the father to strive for obedience to God's will almost goes without saying.

By God's grace and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, may we strive for faithfulness in everything.

Godspeed, gentlemen.
