Gods plan or anothers' desire; your choice!

The children of Israel rejected the rulership of God and desired a king, it was only logical that they should have one too, that's how it's done on earth. God through Samuel warned them several times about how bad the move was, but they had made up their and in their disobedience, fell short. Saul was either not supposed to be king or wasn't supposed to be king yet, either way, Saul becoming king wasn't, at that point in time, God's plan. God gave the children of isreal Saul because he matched the description of the kind of King they had in their hearts. but then what was God's original plan for Saul, because if God is only giving the Israelites Saul because they demanded for a king, which wasn't God's plan for them, it means there was something else Saul would have been doing had the Israelites not rejected God's rulership. Thus did God subject the Saul, who appeared good to the desires of the Israelites, thereby thwarting His own will for him ? Saul could have sought God's face again as regards him rulings Israel, but he didn't , he accepted the offer without considering God's opinion as regards the whole process.

Saul appeared to be good physically but had a heart that wasn't too right with God. God had to change his heart in 1sam 10:9 before he could rule, a thing that didn't happen with David because God himself raised David for Israel, meaning David was in God's plan and thus in raising him, God worked on his heart.
Saul's kingship seemed good in the beginning, but everything fell apart no matter how hard he tried. even though God tried to help, he would have still failed because he wasn't in God's will... God's will for himself and for the Israelites.

God will allow you to be used to fulfill other people's desires not His, if you don't stay in His will. and no matter how rosy, beautiful or successful it might seem in the beginning, it will all crumble. it will be difficult for you to follow God when you're not in His will, you will struggle physically and spiritually because the resources and the people He has raised to help you are not on that path you have chosen, they're elsewhere.

keep the channel of sonship between you and God open and He'll bring you to an expected end. always ask His opinion on everything before you make any move and keep Him in the loop, that way you're certain you're in His will. you might not get early career changing moves like Saul, not that you can't do the job, but because God has other plans for you and He won't let you be used to meet an employers desires. He might be training you like David for something bigger, you might be in the wilderness hustling while your mates are taking quantum leaps on the social ladder, this shouldn't bother you if you're in God's will, because when He brings you it where He wants you to be, Everything will be perfect, in you and for your. just stay in His will and let Him guide so you don't become the answers to the desires of another not approved by God.

You definitely reach an end, would it be somebody else's end or God's expected end?.. Your choice.
