Today's reading 1Samuel 31
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 1Samuel 31

In 1Samuel 31, there was a battle between the Philistines and the Israelites, and things got bad for Saul, he lost three sons, Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. They had aslo wounded Saul critically. Saul told his armor-bearer to kill him but he was afraid. Saul took his own sword and kill himself, so did the armor-bearer. Thus ended the life of Saul, a man with promise and whose life ended in tragedy. The Life and Death of King Saul
The Christian Life is a race, it is not how you start the race, it is the finish line that counts.

Application:
Saul's life had a promising start, but it went spiraling downhill, when he harbored jealousy, murder in his heart for David. This is a wasted life. We need to learn for m Saul because if we keep evil thoughts in our hearts and do not deal with it it can conceive into actions. We need to confess them to the Lord.
