Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with a tragic story of Saul as we pick up in 2nd Samuel chapter 1 verse 1 and now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck. Second Samuel chapter Chapter 1.

First Samuel dealt with the reign of King Saul

over Israel, and it ends with the death of Saul at the hands of the Philistines.

Saul, the tragic story of a man who had many natural abilities and many God-given

opportunities. many God-given opportunities, and yet his was a wasted life and never achieving the full potential of his being.

A life of failure because he failed

to submit himself totally to God.

As the Prophet Samuel said to him,

because you have rejected the Lord from ruling over you and that was the basic flaw of

Saul's life he had rejected the Lord from ruling over his own life he He was a self-determined self-governed man, self-willed, and that destroyed

him from achieving and attaining those things that God intended for his life.
