“Now where are those men who said, “Why should Saul rule over us? Bring them here, and we will kill them. But Saul replied, “No one will be executed today, for today the Lord has rescued Israel.” – 1 Samuel 11:12-13
After Saul led the people into victory, many suggested that those who doubted Saul’s leadership should be executed. Instead of agreeing with them, Saul opposed the idea because he was humble enough to know that it wasn’t by his strength but it was God’s strength to help them to win the battle. When people celebrate you for your accomplishments, remind them that it’s the Lord who gives you the wisdom for your accomplishments.
