There was a time Saul could still hear from God. He could still ask and get answers. He even used the Urim and the Thummim—those divine tools the priests used to hear God’s yes or no. But even then, he was already on the path of disobedience. He had offered sacrifices he wasn’t permitted to.
Slowly, he became the kind of man who didn’t wait for God to speak. When he did try, sometimes God didn’t respond immediately. And instead of humbling himself to wait again, he would go ahead recklessly.
That’s how many are today—if God doesn’t speak now, they assume He’s not there, or they push forward on their own.
But sometimes God doesn’t answer immediately. That’s not the same as Him never answering. For Saul, though, his disobedience was becoming consistent. And in time, God stopped speaking to him completely.
If you keep walking in disobedience, don’t be surprised when the heavens go quiet.
