DEVOTION: 1 John 3:1-7 English Standard Version (ESV)
3 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears[a] we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: When King Saul inquired of the Lord but the Lord didn't answer, what did Saul resort to doing? (Don't ever do this!)
So, he basically flipped God off, and consulted with a medium, asking her to conjure a spirit (Samuel) for him. Not very smart – about as smart as using a Ouija board.
