As the time of the Judges neared its end, the people of God began to demand to have a king over them like the other nations. This demand revealed the fallen heart's desire to rely on a system rather than upon God, the tendency to conform to the surrounding culture, and the temptation to make rash decisions due to impatience. God gave the Israelites their demanded king, and warned them of the dire consequences. Ultimately, through their unrighteous demand, He gave us the righteous King we need.
