THE OPTION LEFT
1 Samuel 12:23 “As for me, I will certainly not sin against the lord by ending my prayers for you. And I will continue to teach you what is good and right.
When people make certain decisions in life there is nothing you can do in the physical to help. 1st Samuel Chapter 12 was the inaugural service of King Saul and the end of service for prophet Samuel. As a man who has walked with God from infancy, he knew the decision of Israel to have a king will come with a lot of repercussions. Have you witnessed people make bad decisions and choices to the detriment of their lives and there was nothing you could do about it but just to let it be?
Most often when we are questioned about it, we quickly rise to our defence and say our advice was rejected and there is nothing we can do. Beloved in the physical there is nothing you can do, but you have one more option. Don't give up yet. Yes, the harm has been done but you have the last option which is prayer. The person may not hear you but God will hear your prayer from a sincere heartPrayer works for both those who have fallen into error and those who are towing the right path. For the fatal error that Israel had committed Samuel could not do anything for them but to pray.
When we pray for people who have erred God shows them mercy and minimizes the effect of their wrong decisions. Keep praying for them and keep repeating to them what is right and good, one day they will repent and return to the path of truth. Israel has been sustained and has come this far despite their disobedience to God because of the intercession of some patriarchs like Abraham, Moses, David, Prophet Samuel and the like. Keep praying it may change or minimize the harm to come.
Prayer: Holy Spirit stir in me the Spirit of prayer to pray even for those who fall in error and gone against your will that they may return into your loving arms and ways again in Jesus' name. Amen.
