When God Says, “Obey Their Voice" (1 Samuel 8 and Ecclesiastes 6:1-6)
When God says, “Obey their voice,” it doesn’t always go the way we expect. In 1 Samuel 8 God told Samuel to obey the people’s voices and give them a king to their own detriment. In our lives, when we keep pushing sometimes God gives us what we want to our detriment.

Day 2: Ecclesiastes 6:1-6, Psalm 78:27-31, 106:14-15—Why would God remove our power to enjoy things He has given us? What examples of this can you think of in Scripture? What examples can you think of in your own life? In other words, can you think of some things you should have enjoyed, but God prevented you from enjoying them?
Day 3: Ecclesiastes 5:18-20—What do you think leads God to give us the power to enjoy the things He has given us? In Ecclesiastes 5:19 what is “The gift of God”? What are the three important things in this verse God allows us to enjoy? What did Solomon mean in verse 20 when he said we would not “Remember the days of [our lives]” and why would this be a blessing versus a curse?
