Well right off the bat we come to what I would call another great mystery. It’s hard sometimes for us to reconcile to this simple truth that God is in control even over our government. We have seen so much corruption and bad decisions in our government over many years, how do come to the place where we submit and feel good about it? Well as we have seen in our studies in 1 and 2nd Samuel, God places people in positions of leading the people, and sometimes it’s not necessarily for the reasons one would think. God chose Saul to be king only because the people demanded a king. They wanted to be like all the other nations and so God gave them what they asked for, but it didn’t go well for them or for Saul.
