Revised 10/15/2013 from my journal entry July 23, 2012
The act of rebellion is a sin against God and His word. The act of rebellion is deliberate disobedience or defiance. Yesterday, I was rebellious. When given specific instructions by my father to complete a task, I had determined in my mind that I didn't want to do what he said exactly the way he said it. In the Bible, Saul, a great king over Israel, rebelled against God and his orders. God instructed Saul to go and kill the Amalekites and everything in their possession.Instead of following God's commands, Saul decides to spare the King of Amalek, Agag, and some of the Amalekites' animals based on his own logic. 1 Samuel 15:23 says "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou has rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king." Samuel suffered the consequence of rejection from God, and the loss of his title as king because of deliberate disobedience. Rebellion is the resistance against authority. Samuel rebelled against God because he thought he had a better plan that what God desired.Rebellion against God or your parents is like a slap in their faces as you willfully reject what they say. This is why Jesus sent his son to pay the debt for our sins that we may have life, but we must submit our will to Him and deny our flesh.
Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh! Keep me from my stupid sins, from thinking I can take over Your work. Psalms 19:12-13
