    Saul found the view from the palace great, but the responsibilites were greater than his heart allowed him to enjoy.

    Saul’s mistake was that he was more worried about his success than God’s glory. God became for him a means to an end, rather than an end in himself. So this is both warning and a challenge to us. Make sure that God is at the centre of our focus in everyth
