Do The Simple Things

 Scripture:

“And don’t worry about those donkeys that were lost three days ago, for they have been found. And I am here to tell you that you and your family are the focus of all Israel’s hopes.”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭9‬:‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God had told Samuel that he was going to meet the next king of Israel the next day. On that day, he ran into Saul and had a conversation with him. He told Saul, “don’t worry about those donkeys that were lost three days ago, for they have been found.” His next words were powerful. He said, “I am here to tell you that you and your family are the focus of all Israel’s hopes.” Saul was looking for donkeys, but God was looking for him.

Application:

God’s word can come to us in the most unusual times and ways. You would think Saul would need to go to the temple to get a word from God. Instead, he was looking for some donkeys that were missing. When we do what is front of us and what is needed, God will make sure He intersects our lives with those who have a word for us. Just as Saul’s promotion came when he wasn’t expecting it and wasn’t looking for it, God tends to speak into our lives in moments when we are serving the needs of others. As we do the simple, the supernatural follows.

Prayer:

Father, You are amazing! Help me to do the simple so You can do the supernatural. Teach me to follow Your ways and obey Your voice. As I am searching for donkeys, speak into my life. I long to walk with You in Spirit and truth. Let my life bring Your glory.

Yours Forever,
