When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart

 1 Samuel 28:1-13

Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.

When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.”

So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.” But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?”

Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”

When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!” The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure coming up out of the earth.”

Why?
Saul was afraid to fight with the Philistines, and the Lord did not answer Saul's require, so Saul went to ask the medium, it was the Lord's forbidden. Saul did the wrong action of asking the medium, it the Lord does not allow it.

When there is no way people always like to search for other ways to get the answer. This is a weakness for most people.

The Lord is the only king in my heart I have to do my duties and let the result be handled by the Lord.

How?

Psalm 127: 1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
