Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.

Thoughts:

When Samuel confronts Saul for his bad decision, Saul places the blame on others when he was the only one to blame. If someone came to you and corrected you for making a bad decision, how would you react?
Samuel was a prophet and Saul was the king. When Samuel corrected Saul, was he being disrespectful to an authority? Why or why not?
Saul made many mistakes in this section but what do you think? If Saul repented and decided to walk in the will of the Lord, do you think God would have forgiven him? What does that mean for us when we make many mistakes?

For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people

THoughts:

God's response toward the Jews was very forgiving and gracious even though they had not followed His will. In light of this, how should you respond to others who don't do what you want?
We studied how the Jews were afraid of the Lord and did not sincerely repent. Looking at this instance, what does true repentance look like?
Is there anything you need to repent of in your life? Write whatever it is down so you can remember to ask for the Lord's forgiveness and pray for His help to overcome it.
