But They Did Follow

1 Samuel 13:7 KJV
And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

My focus is on the phrase that "the people followed him trembling."

They had reason to tremble;
They had rejected God in asking for a king
This king had upset their enemies
They had no weapons
The whole of the nation was not following and
This king had not yet proven himself in battle


Things could go badly for them if the Lord did not bless them.

Still, these people followed. Let's hear it for them! It is the right thing for them to do. They will eventually see victory in battle because they have followed. I salute them.

They were terrified
They were insecure
They were trembling in their boots

But they followed the king God had given them.
