(1 Samuel 9:3 NKJV) 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.”
Saul went out to find the donkeys as his father had asked him to do, but little did he know he was taking steps toward finding his destiny.
Saul searched and searched for the donkeys and realized if he didn’t get back home, his father would start to worry about him. Saul heard of a man that could help him. He was a man of God; his name was Samuel. So Saul inquired of this man and he found him there in the city.
God had plans for Saul; he was to become a king.
Oh how God has a plan, not just for Saul, but for all of us as well! We don’t always know the route to getting there, but as long as we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, we may just walk right into it.
Saul left, looking for the donkeys. He was doing what he was supposed to be doing. He had no other agenda, he had no other plans or motives. He just wanted to bring back the donkeys.
Now, Samuel had heard from God prior to this. God had told Samuel the day before that the same time tomorrow, Samuel would meet the next king. Well here comes the hour, here comes the day, and here comes Saul, right on time, in the right place, and doing the right thing.
(1 Samuel 9:17 NKJV) And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, “There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.”
Now, Saul didn’t have a clue what was about to happen. He wanted to find his dad’s donkeys and get home. He simply wanted information from Samuel about the donkeys. That was it.
But Samuel would soon tell Saul something that would bring change to his life; that he was going to be king.
Quite the change?
God’s plan comes for us when we are doing the right thing, when we are in the right place, at the right time. Amen!
