* Luis Alberto Alves
Fascinating is the story of Saul, the first king of Israel, anointed by God, when the prophet Samuel was a judge at that time. Considered one of the most beautiful men of that time, in addition to being beautiful and athletic, he took the throne at 30 until he lost it at 72, after successive cases of rebellion to the Lord.
During this period, Saul faced and won several battles, but pride and arrogance led him to the abyss. He managed to take God's patience! Something difficult.
Son of the wealthy merchant Quis, of Benjamin, grandson of Zeror, Saul grew in wealth, he was unaware of misery. In this context, he will soon take on the unprecedented position of King of Israel. The saying goes that "whoever has never eaten molasses, when he eats, eat it up."
Saul imagined that it was his effort that led him to the throne of Israel. He did not listen carefully to the Lord's voice, but to his ego. All of this went on for 42 years. God waited all this time for Saul to open his eyes and realize his mistakes!
