Saul's heart

²⁴ When Saul’s servants told him what David had said, ²⁵ Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.
²⁶ When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed, ²⁷ David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

How blinded can King Saul be? He should understand that His position is because of God. God entrusted him with His power, he did not gain that power, but inherited because God chose him. But Saul took that power for granted and instead of always looking back at God and thanking Him for all he has done, he went other way. He became paranoid of his position and power. Then he started to be afraid of David, whom God have chosen to succeed him, Instead of running towards Him, he ran away. He turned away from God because he was blinded by power. God was with David but not with him. so we all know that whatever Saul do, chances are that it will eventually fail. He continuously plotted against David. Planning to kill him in many different ways, he tried everything. But because God was with David, David won. He won every single challenge that Saul gave him. All these would displease Saul that He would send his army hunting for David. So, we have to remember to always run back to Him, because if He is with you, no one can be against you.
