When Hannah asked for a son, God gave her Samuel. When the Israelites asked for a king, God anointed Saul even though He knew there would be consequences. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about the ways that our prayers intersect with God’s plans. They also discuss the lessons we can learn from David and Saul, including the importance of staying humble and keeping your heart focused on God. Episode RecapStart by writing down 1 Samuel 2:1-2 (0:13)Israel wanted a king in spite of Samuel’s warnings (1:36)Hannah was desperate for a son and God honored her desire and faithfulness (6:34)God was setting the stage for the coming Messiah (10:39)God warned the Israelites but ultimately gave them what they asked for (11:38)There’s a difference between consequences and God forsaking us (13:36)The Israelites’ idea of freedom led to captivity (16:40)David made mistakes but his heart was focused on God (18:09)In his pride, Saul forgot that God made Him king (24:00) Send us an email to let us know what you’re learning - hello@dotbowen.com Find Dot Bowen on Instagram and Facebook
