I Samuel 28:5-7 ” When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. Saul then said to his attendants, ‘Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.”

Saul had rejected the Word of God…so the Lord had rejected him as king over Israel. (I Samuel 15:26)  And so when Saul sought help from the Lord…there was only silence.  So enter the witch of Endor, a sorceress and medium for the occult that Saul knew was absolutely wrong to consult.  When we become impatient with the Lord in what we see as a delay…that’s when we often take matters into our own hands and do things that are completely contrary to God’s Word…simply wanting something to happen…even if it’s wrong.
