TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD
Presumptuousness Leads to Dishonor
King Saul felt that he was in a desperate situation (1Sa 13:5-7)
Rather than modestly following Jehovah’s Instructions, Saul acted presumptuously (1Sa 13:8, 9; w20.08 32:10, 11)
Jehovah disciplined Saul (1Sa 13:13, 14; w07-E 6/15 27 ¶8)
Someone acts presumptuously when he rashly or foolishly does something that he is not authorized to do. Presumptuousness is contrasted with modesty. What situations could tempt someone to be presumptuous?
