There are two famous men by the name of Saul in the Bible----one in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament. Both were from the tribe of Benjamin [1 Sam. 9:2; Phil. 3:5]. One was tall and impressive, the other short and unimpressive [ 1 Sam. 9:2; 2 Cor. 10:10; Gal. 4:13,14]. The first began as God's friend but ended up as His enemy, while the second started as His enemy but wound up as God's friend [1 Sam. 9:16; 10: 6; 7; 28:6; Acts 9:1; 2 Tim. 4:18]. One went to the witch of Endor in the hour of his death, while the other turned to the word of God [1 Sam. 28:7; 2 Tim. 4:13]. What really made the difference between these two men? The answer is tragically simple---one was disobedient, the other was obedient.
