Be Careful What You Ask For
Are we seeking God’s will—or asking Him to approve plans we have already made?
In 1 Samuel 8, Israel faces a genuine leadership problem, but their demand for a king reveals a deeper issue: they are rejecting God’s rule and seeking security in someone they can see. Despite Samuel’s warnings, they insist on being like the nations around them.
Join Pastor Shea Shrader at Harman Memorial Baptist Church as we explore this challenging passage and consider what it means to trust God with our decisions, disappointments, and future.
In this message, we examine:
• Remaining faithful in ordinary seasons.
• Following God’s Word when the crowd pulls another direction.
• Praying before reacting to disappointment.
• Recognizing the cost of insisting on our own way.
• Placing our ultimate hope in Jesus rather than earthly leaders.
Samuel warned about a king who would take from his people. Jesus came to serve and give His life to save His people. He is the King we truly need.
Are you asking Jesus to bless your plans—or submitting your plans to His rule?
