Rest In Peace as if no force in Haiti. A year after an earthquake measuring 7 SR devastated country. But in Leogane, a city that is closest to the epicenter of the earthquake, public cemetery is still messy and unkempt. Shifted the headstones and damaged, the grave and the coffin open, the bones and corpses littered the cloth wrapping. "I'm not happy, the deceased was not happy," said Pierre, a local resident who was repairing his father's grave.

However, what bothers people die not only earthquakes, but also people who are still alive. At that time, Saul confusion because sandwiched in the war against the Philistines. He realized God had departed from him and did not want to answer it again. Not God departed from Saul, but Saul who abandoned God and wants to follow his own (v. 18). Fatal, Saul came to the caller ghosts and spirits forecasters (paragraph 3), which defiled and hated by God (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Saul asked them to summon the spirit of Samuel who was dead, because he was about to ask for directions (verses 8-15). Was that the spirit of Samuel who appeared? I do not know, because the devil has been able to masquerade as an angel (2 Corinthians 11:14). What is clear, Saul cursed because of this.

There are some people who already claim to be children of God, a churchgoer, but still believe the forecast, a good day, or ask for directions "smart people" when they wanted to have the event. More ridiculous, there is a request sustenance in ancestral graveyard. If not immediately repent, they can be like Saul; originally chosen by God to be king of Israel, but later rejected God and perish - SST
