This lesson that I read from a book jerked me awake.

It is about King Saul. He was the first King of Israel, handpicked by God. But He disobeyed God deliberately by holding on to things God explictly told him to get rid of.

"Before we condemn Saul too harshly, let us assure ourselves that we have not been guilty of similar disobedience. We may be glad to be rid of disgraceful and degrading sins that hurt our self-esteem, but have we spared well-loved sins, favourite indulgences, or habits about which the Spirit of God has spoken to us time and again? In condemning Saul, we may be condemning ourselves."
