You may be right. But I pray you are wrong.
I am praying that I am wrong also. In the time of Samuel, God granted the elders of Israel their wish for a king. God, thru Samuel told them how it would turn out, but still they wanted a king.
God granted their wish and He told them when things get tough, as I have told you they will, I will not hear your pleas.
Since we, as a nation, have turned away from God, I fear He will not hear ours either.
