Sometimes we want things that God does
not want us to want. In many such situations we don't know why God
does not want us to want what we want, but the reasons become evident
later.
Jews wanted a king. God did not want
the Jews to have a king; but they were persistent, so God gave them
what they wanted. They got a king; but he was a bad king. King Saul
did many wrong things, and being king he could get away with it. The
Jews, undoubtedly, understood later why God did not want them to have
a king; but by that time it was too late.
When I was a teenager, I got tired of
the stupid violence all around me and wanted to have no violence in
my life. My adult life has largely been free from violence; but there
are many things happened to me that were worse than violence. God
granted me a wish that was against his wishes, and I had to live with
the consequences of that choice.
When someone is hell-bent on doing
something, God will deliver. However, once again, you will have to
live with the consequences. Sometimes you understand God's reasons,
and sometimes you don't. In all cases however there is a reason for
God's decisions, and it is important to understand this reason and do
what is rightful in the eyes of God.
