Saul went to Samuel’s house and Samuel introduced himself and asked him to go up to the place of worship. (1 Samuel 9:19)
They all ate there, then he asked him not to worry about the lost donkeys and that he will speak to him in the morning.
Samuel told Saul that he and his family were the focus of all Israel’s hopes.
Saul replied, that he was from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel and that his family is the least important of all the families of that tribe.
Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and placed them at the head of the table, honoring them above the thirty special guests.
Samuel then instructed the cook to bring Saul the finest cut of meat, the piece that had been set aside for the guest of honor. So the cook brought in the meat and placed it before Saul.
Saul slept in Samuel’s house. In the morning, they all left the house together. When they reached the edge of town, Samuel told Saul to send his servant ahead. Since he wanted to convey a special message from God. (1 Samuel 9:18-27)
Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it over Saul’s head. He kissed Saul and said, the LORD has appointed him to be the ruler over Israel, his special possession. (1 Samuel 10:1)
To Ponder:
Though Saul was from the least of all the tribes, God chose him and gave him the greatest honor.
Humanly it might seem impossible, but with God all things are possible.
God is capable of doing things that are far greater than our imagination.
