It became rather troubling. Two of their requests
came under the leadership of Moses. Their first request was “make us gods that shall go before us” (Exodus 32:1). Later they said, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt” (Numbers 14:4). Under Samuel leadership, they requested to have a king to oversee their affairs like other nations did. They protested that they needed a king that would execute their battles for them.

Recently we talked about the significance of our accommodation to God with the goal that our power given to us by Him could be successful. Presently I need you to perceive how Jesus Himself submitted to this standard giving us a case of how it must be finished.
Jesus Christ lowered before God, and therefore He could defeat Satan and get the lordship, while taking care of business.

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart."
psalm 143:10
Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
