2:3 esteem others better
Galatians
6:3 you may be deceiving yourself
II Saul’s Backslidings
1 Samuel 13:1 after he had reigned for two
years- first battle as a King
1
Samuel 13:7 fear had overtaken Saul and his
army
1
Samuel 13:8-10 Samuel had instructed Saul to wait
for him
1
Samuel 13:11-13 Saul does foolishly
Another
lesson:
Saul became impatient because of his
fear, and did not wait for Samuel
1 Samuel
1
Samuel 10:8 Samuel said “tarry seven days”
1
Samuel 13:8-13 Saul could not wait!
Isaiah
40:31 they that wait upon the Lord…
Illustration Exodus 24:12-14 tarry (wait) until we come again

God
is never in a hurry but often we are and that is when we are in danger of doing
something foolish.
