I Chronicles 10

"So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord ..." (v13). This quick summary doesn't tell us about Saul's eternal destiny. What we do know is that his lack of faith cost him a kingdom. Consulting with a medium/witch demonstrated to the world that Israel's king did not have faith in God. God had chosen Saul and promised to bless him, yet when gripped by fear, Saul turned elsewhere for help.

God doesn't require us to be brave (even kings get frightened). But being His children means leaning on Him for help, trusting completely in His love.
