This is a good one... hopefully more people's eyes open to the reality of the points you bear witness to.

One thing from the recounting of the time the people kept pressing Samuel for a king that gets to me is their lack of gratitude to Our Creator, who showed himself so strong on their behalf, who beckoned them to participate in a personal relationship with him, the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and all that pertained to those elements... and they couldn't see past the absurdities of the nations around them. They wanted a 'king' just like the neighboring peoples had... They failed so miserably in appreciating Our Father's desire to lead, guide, provide, protect... them.... They were called to be His representatives, to be an example of what being in His family was... and they missed the point.

As a child, in my country of birth, we were taught in the inculcation institutions to give obeisance to the 'crown' of the British Empire... Through my years of walking with my Creator... I experienced a change of heart regarding that programming...

Thank you for this posting.
