Text: 1 Samuel 13:5-14
When the Philistines threaten Israel, Saul waits for Samuel to offer sacrifices seeking God's favor. Growing impatient and fearing his army would scatter, Saul disobeys God by offering the sacrifices himself. Upon arrival, Samuel reprimands Saul for his disobedience, telling him his kingdom won't endure. This story emphasizes God's sovereignty and the importance of obedience, even under pressure.
