FAITH CAPSULE: Take note of two things by giving attention. 

1 Samuel 13
1. Know to trust and hope
2. Avoid making the wrong choice.

1. Know to trust and hope:
Claiming to have hope in God is not only by mouth but must be rooted in the heart. 
One that does not keep heart diligently as the word of God demands from all cannot and does not understand and know to have trust and hope in God.  
Proverbs 4:23 states: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” 
Do you have a heart with trust but not with hope in God? 
With the expectation for manifestation, acclaimed believers visit the gathering of believers because of trust but do not demonstrate hope for the expectation. 
It is not complete to expect or receive the blessing of God by having trust but not having hope.
Jeremiah 17:7 records it, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord.”
Know and understand that God is not talkative that fails in His word.
The word of God does not return to Him void. (Isaiah 55:11)
What God says He will do is a done deal!
Do you have a heart with trust and hope in God? 
PRAYER
Ask that the strength in the word of God will answer in you, keeping your heart with all diligence.
Ask that in every way of seeking God, you shall keep trust and hope continually.
2. Avoid making the wrong choice:
Making choices in the life journey is possible to live in pain or not arrive at the divine assignment of God. 
Saul was chosen as King by God, but he made the wrong choice outside before God when he disobeyed the word of God.
Saul repeatedly disobeyed God.
First, he engaged in unlawful sacrifice against the word of God. (Prophet Samuel instructed Saul to wait for a sacrificial approach when he was at war with his enemy. Saul did not obey but made the wrong choice to carry out the sacrifice) 
Saul states his excuse that the people were scattered when Samuel did not arrive on time ( Saul compelled to disobey). 
Samuel identifies him as FOOLISH. (1 Samuel 13)
Secondly, God directed Saul to destroy the Amalekites. (1 Samuel 15)  Saul spared King Agag at his choice against the command of God.
Saul made his own choice to spare, not destroy, as commanded by God.
One that is unwilling to obey disobeys.
Disobeying the word of God is turning from God.
Saul was 30 years old when he became king, and he reigned 42 years over the Israelites.
At the time of disobedience of Saul, the presence of God was absent for him. 
God turned to David as His choice while Saul was king. (1 Samuel 13:13-14)
For forty years of reign, Saul was on his own. 
The disobedience of Saul to the command of God was his sin against him.
God made Saul retain the throne, but his descendant could not carry on his dynasty. 
PRAYER
Ask God that reverses irreversible will have mercy on your wrong choice taken against His choice for you.
Ask that you live a life of obedience constantly.
