1 Samuel 28: 15 "'Why have you disturbed me by calling me back?' Samuel asked Saul."
Saul is worried about David, the Philistines, and his kingdom's future-at least his reign of that kingdom. In his desperation, he consults a witch in Endor and asks her to call up Samuel's spirit. Samuel's ghost shows up and tells Saul it's game over!
What a great story! I'll have to read this one again at Halloween! In desperation we do stupid things. How often have I felt like I was at the end of my rope and acted in haste and did something I knew I'd regret? I won't answer that. With Christ in our lives, we should never feel desperate or hopeless or worried. We have Jesus, we don't need to talk to ghosts!
Dear Jesus, help me rely on you and not my horoscope. Not that I ever read horoscopes...Amen.
