24 Aug The danger of spiritual erosion
Spiritual erosion is the deterioration of our relationship with God, which, sometimes, ends with destruction.
🎯Spiritual erosion is dangerous because it occurs so slowly that we’re often unaware anything is happening inside us
🎯When the Israelites demanded a royal leader just like all the other nations, God gave them King Saul.
💥He was exactly what the nation wanted—an impressive man who stood head and shoulders above the rest.
💥Saul probably started out with good intentions, but before long he veered off course, and his character began to erode because of his disobedience to God.
💥Saul’s strained relationship with God began with rationalizing and excusing his rebellious actions.
💥Then he picked which parts of God’s commands to obey and which to neglect.
He claimed he’d obeyed fully, but after being confronted, he shifted the blame to his army.
💥Eventually he became consumed with jealousy, rage, and fear, which led to many foolish decisions.
🎯Saul’s life stands as an example of what happens when sin creeps in and begins the destructive process of self-destruction.
