Saul, by not following God's Word for him, not only opposed God, he also opposed himself!

Saul, by going against God's Word, harmed himself and gave the enemy access to his life and God no longer exalted Saul.

Submitting to God's Word is absolutely the best thing we can do for our lives; submitting to God's Word will allow the love and power of God to flow through us.

If we love God we will not hinder Him by our own thinking. When you go with God's Word you will crucify the flesh and do the right thing, even when it hurts!
