And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. 1 Samuel 10:26
"When a man makes a failure in a position in which he is placed,
we are liable to think that God has made a mistake in allowing him to be placed there; but this does not follow.
---God made no mistake in having Saul to be king of Israel;
---but Saul made a mistake in not becoming what God wanted him to be. He made a mistake in following his own ways and schemes, rather than listening to the voice of God.
God may call me or you to a position, and if we have some point of weakness which will prevent our usefulness, and God sends us a message, that message is to make us what he wants us to be, that through his grace we may stand where he wants us to stand."
