As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore. Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you. He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.” Saul replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD your God.” So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.

This five day plan walks the believer on God's proven pathway to courage in the shadow of giants. Courage doesn't happen in a moment. It is shaped by God and demonstrated in the crisis.

Browse the Bible Study section at any Christian bookseller or website, and you will see plenty of Bible studies on the heroes of the faith: Moses, David, Deborah, Paul, and so on. What about the terrible, most evil people in the Scriptures? Why are there no Bible studies written about them? Studying them will allow us to understand God’s sovereignty better: He uses the “good guys” and the “bad guys” of Scripture to accomplish His perfect will. This study will examine one of those bad guys: King Saul, the King of Excuses.
