‘As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.” And he went on. “But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God.”’
I Samuel 9:27
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
His word.
Will be.
Revealed.
To me.
When.
I seek Him!
Saul.
Who was.
From.
The tribe.
Of.
Benjamin.
Went.
Searching.
For.
His father’s.
Lost donkeys.
‘Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, “Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys.” ‘
I Samuel 9:3
While.
Searching.
For.
Them.
His servant.
Suggested.
That.
They should.
Seek out.
The man.
Of.
God.
Who was.
In.
The city.
Ahead.
Of.
Them.
‘And he said to him, “Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.”’
I Samuel 9:6
However.
God.
Revealed.
To.
Samuel.
That.
This was.
Going.
To.
Happen.
And.
To.
Anoint.
Saul.
As king.
Over.
Israel.
‘Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying, “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”’
I Samuel 9:15-16
As.
Saul.
Entered.
The city.
Samuel.
Met him.
And.
Brought him.
To.
Eat.
In.
The high place.
Of.
The city.
‘Now Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall, and had them sit in the place of honor among those who were invited; there were about thirty persons. ‘
I Samuel 9:22
Afterwards.
They rested.
Then.
Woke up.
Early.
The next.
Morning.
And.
Samuel.
Revealed.
To.
Saul.
God’s will.
For.
His life.
Which.
Was.
For him.
To.
Serve.
As king.
Over.
Israel!
Look.
When.
We faithfully.
Serve.
In.
Whatever.
Role.
God.
Places.
Us.
In.
He will.
Reveal.
To us.
What is.
Next.
Unfortunately.
There.
Has been.
To.
Many times.
Where.
I have.
Anxiously.
Desired.
Something.
Outside.
Of.
God’s will.
Versus.
Not being.
Patient enough.
To.
Wait on.
What.
He has.
Ordained!
Ultimately.
In.
This case.
I don’t.
Think.
Samuel.
Knew.
He.
Would be.
Anointed.
King.
Over.
Israel!
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;’
Proverbs 3:5
Therefore.
I don’t.
Get.
Ahead.
Of.
God!
Now.
I wait.
On.
The Lord.
To.
Reveal.
To me.
What’s next.
In.
My life.
And.
I faithfully.
Serve.
His will.
Where.
I’m planted!
I pray.
That you.
Slow down.
And.
Give.
All.
Of.
Your cares.
To.
The Lord.
Then.
Wait!
On Him.
To.
Reveal.
To you.
What’s next!
Because.
His plan.
Is.
Better.
Than yours!
‘“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord .’
Isaiah 55:8
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
