In 1 Samuel 28, we come face to face with one of the most haunting scenes in all of Scripture: a king who once walked with God, now sneaking through the night in disguise to consult a witch. Saul’s story forces us to ask a deeply personal question about what is truly going on beneath the surface of our own hearts. The passage reveals that Saul never really wanted God himself. He wanted God’s help, God’s answers, God’s protection, but not God’s rule over his life. And when the silence came, his desperation exposed exactly what had been hiding below the waterline all along.
