1 Samuel 12:18-23 NLT

Sometimes you may ask the Lord for something and HE will give it to you even though its not HIS will. HE may have something far better for us, but we prefer what we can see now over HIM forever. When the Isrealites realized they did this they were afraid. Samuel let them know that, while it was too late, God would continue to take care of them as long as they obeyed HIM. We cannot change some of our desisions, but we can make better ones within the situations we have put ourselves in.
