Who is Saul and what are His Core Beliefs?

        I'm going to talk a lot about Saul and Job this month and being single and where my life is leading because that is what I'm thinking a lot about right now. I'm a lot like Saul and Job right now. I will start with Saul. It is amazing how God can pick a wealthy person like Saul for an important job but yet Saul can't see how important it is for God and people. He just thinks it is another job on thing in life.
       Why do you think Saul thinks it is no bigger deal that he is going to be king? Could it be because his Core beliefs are in the wrong place? What is Core beliefs you might ask? These are the questions that you can ask about your core beliefs: Who do I believe God is?, and Who do I see other people as?. Beliefs are the lends of the heart but yet often our mind and heart are disconnected. How much could I agree with that more? I know my mind controls me a lot of times when it should be my heart controlling me. An example of core beliefs is: Adam, Eve, and the snake. The snake was after both of their identities, not their behavior. The tree of life, in the garden, could be though of like our hearts. God allowed us to eat and get from that anytime that we want but the tree that He doesn't allow us to eat from is the tree of Knowledge, which is like our minds and self.
        Satan will always use our experiences to stop us. That is what he was doing with Saul when he was becoming king of Israel. Saul was and gave all the excuses that could be thought of in 1 Samuel 9. He said he was: wealthy, handsome, tall, humble,  the least of these, and unworthy. Saul couldn't see all those things in himself. Instead, he was looking at his bad self. God has chosen Saul for more then could be done but God knew Saul could do it if He would just trust Him but Saul didn't want to. He didn't want to change his thought of mind. The funny thing is that God sent someone (Samuel) to speak truth to Saul. To tell him, who he really was and could be but Saul wouldn't listen.
          God wasn't calling Saul to do something he wasn't made to do. God knew Saul could be king especially if he would just follow God but Saul was scared and didn't want to. Saul was a control freak and loved to blame the people around him. He wanted to prove himself and not listen to God once he got the king spot so things went down from there because he thought he could do everything by himself. He thought he was handsome and wealthy enough to deal with everything that came his way. Yet Saul was still hiding after God transformed him. Saul would not let God do what He could do through him. He kept everything inside because he had other beliefs the beliefs of the people around him that he listened to and not God's ways.
           A leader will always transform what they are feeling to other people who follow them. People started to not believe in what Saul could do because he wasn't being the leader that God knew he could be. He would not listen to the people and because of that the people would start to make fun of him. He brought the people down with him and made them doubt with him. If you want to be a successful leader then you need to be a happy and smart leader. Saul needed to listen to God and a lot of things would have gone better. People would start to cheer him on and he might even have won some lives for God if his core beliefs was in line with God's core beliefs for him.
         Samuel told Saul that God sent him on a mission. How did that mission end up? It ended by losing people for God instead of winning people for Him because of the core beliefs (the way and thoughts) Saul had about God and himself.  The core beliefs are not just for and about yourself. It should be on God and how to please and live for Him. The core beliefs are those beliefs that comes from your soul and from the person who you really are.
         It is like you are asking God: Search and know me, O God. Test me and know my heart. Calm my anxieties. Live in me, O God so people can see You though you. Get to the core of my heart and soul.
