We've all heard the saying "be careful what you wish for!" It's a warning that the nation of Israel needed to hear and it's a warning they get from God in 1 Samuel 8. In this chapter we see the folly of humanity and how willingly we exchange the wonderful things of God for transient things of this world. This passage challenges us to see how good God is, how broken we are and how much we need Jesus, God's true King.
