1 Samuel 9

Good Morning “Donkey Hunters.”  Today we are in 1 Samuel 9.

Israel wants a king.  Saul’s father loses his donkeys and sends Saul to find them.  In the meantime God tells Samuel I’ve got the guy to lead Israel… I’ll bring him to you.  

Saul’s all about the donkeys - Gods all about His plan.  Did you snicker as you read this story?  It’s amazing to me!  Once again we see seemingly insignificant actions, become a noticeable part of Gods plan.  Losing and then looking for the donkeys was never just about that.  God was placing characters in His story right where He needed them to be.  

”In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

”A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬

God is always working, in us and through us.  Thats why it is so important that we stay plugged into Him.  His involving man is not just reserved for Kings and “important people”.  If you know Jesus, you’re a child of God, and an important part of the plan.  As we are obedient to His Word, we demonstrate our love for Him, thus joining Him in His work - glorifying Him in our obedience.  (John 14:21).  

There is no greater privilege.  So… keep looking for those donkeys, but keep your eyes on Jesus as you do!

Love you all!  Dig in!
