Description

Sometimes the most sobering thing God can do is say “yes” to our stubborn will. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares from 1 Samuel 8:7–9, where Israel insists on having a king even after God warns them of the consequences. The Lord tells Samuel, “They are rejecting Me, not you… Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them.” Pastor John explains that God’s will always protects us, while our own way often leads to pain. Yet even in correction, God remains loving and patient. This episode will help you examine the areas where you may be choosing your own way and invite you to return to God’s better plan—one rooted in surrender, safety, and grace.
