We Want A King To Fight Our Battles

                The people wanted a king to judge them....and to fight their battles....just like all the other nations. God's hand upon them wasn't good enough for them....for this reason they were given a king. God's faithful shepherds have warned us in America or a long time.....return to Him....but we instead wanted a Supreme Court....and a republican congress.....and a strong king....a fighter....also to fight our battles. I can only wonder what went through Billy Graham's mind in his last year. I would think that he saw what was ahead....and like Daniel....was overwhelmed by grief. Samuel was frustrated at the Israelite's demands.....but God told him...."Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but have rejected me from being king over them." (1 Samuel 8:7 ESV)
