Today's Passage: I Samuel 9-10
Knowing the things that Saul does later on in his reign and knowing how he turns from God, it is sometimes easy to forget that Saul was God's anointed king for Israel. We can learn from Saul how important it is to walk with God and trust Him for every decision. The moment our intentions become selfish and our motivation becomes anything but God's glory, we are heading for trouble!
On a more positive note, as I read through this passage I was amazed at how God orchestrated the events which led to Saul approaching Samuel. God had told Samuel that He would reveal the coming king to him, but how amazing (and kind of funny) is it that God used some lost donkeys to make it happen? This just goes to show that some of the seemingly pointless and often frustrating things that happen in our everyday lives (like having to drop everything to track down some lost donkeys) may be God's way of helping us with something we don't even know about. He may be changing our paths for the better or even using us to help someone else...you never know!
