Saul's pride begins to rear its ugly head. His son Jonathan attacks a Philistine outpost. Saul claims the victory as his own.

Then, to his credit, Saul prepares burnt offferings to the Lord - a good thing, right? Sure, it was a good thing, but... Saul gets impatient waiting on Samuel to arrive to offer up the burnt offering to God and he does it himself - not a good thing. What Saul did was in a good way, but not God's way...big difference! Many times we as a church and as individual Christians, do good things, but not always Godly things. Again, there's a big difference!

This act caused God to remove the kingdom from the hand of Saul and give it to "a man after his own heart."

Saul's son Jonathan again comes forward, stepping out in faith to attack the Philistines. God gave the Philistines into the Israelites' hand.

So, how is it with us as Christians, do we step out in faith, and do God's will even if it seems as if we are going against impossible circumstances?
