1 Samuel 9:11-14
Saul Introduced to SamuelThis section tells how Saul, while searching for his father’s donkeys, is led by God’s providence to meet Samuel. Even ordinary events and simple questions can be part of God’s bigger plan. God uses these small details to bring about important changes in Israel’s history by connecting Saul and Samuel at just the right time.v. 11–14: Saul and his servant arrived in Ramah and asked the local maid-servants where they could find the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 9:11-14 a). The women gave detailed directions, explaining that Samuel was in the city for a special sacrifice and that everyone was waiting for him to bless the meal. Saul and his servant followed these instructions and met Samuel just as he was going up to the high place. This meeting seemed like an accident, but it was actually God’s plan. God often uses simple, everyday events and helpful people to guide us to where we need to be. – – –
