Saul was proven to be not a man after God’s own heart. Consequently, his spiritual fall led the nation to socio-political weakness and shame before the presence of their enemies (1 Sa. 15-17). And since the presence of Yahweh departed from him, the character of his leadership became weak and self-directed.

1. What is characterization?
2. How can good character be built?
3. Can we learn from each character in the scriptures?

Lord, help me not to judge others. Help me to focus on doing the right things. Let a positive and inspiring story be told through my life. May my life and those of others around me bring you glory. Let the light of the gospel change me from the inside out and make my life a worthy example so that others can learn of Christ, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
