What Happens When Popularity Comes Before God?

Saul's Partial Obedience

What happens when a leader values popularity more than integrity with God?

PAUSE AND PRAY

Where in my life have I called something obedience that was actually partial compliance? Remember, in God’s sight, halfway obedience is disobedience. God, not the people, made Saul king. Yet he feared what people would think and do if he went all the way with God. What might full obedience cost me right now? And what opportunities might it open up?
