”And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.“
1 Samuel 9:17 KJV
The moment Samuel laid eyes on Saul, God said, “He’s the one, the man I told you about. This is the one who will keep My people in check.” Amazingly, even when Samuel was offended by the children of Israel’s desire for a king, God was able to help Samuel understand in accordance with His Will, and come into obedience to do it. In the new covenant, it is Christ’s obedience that we dwell upon. During Christ’s days on earth He pleaded with God, praying with passion and with tearful agony that God would spare Him from death. And because of His perfect devotion His prayer was answered and He was delivered. But even though He was a wonderful Son, He learned to listen and obey through all His sufferings. And after being proven perfect in this way He has now become the source of eternal salvation to all those who listen to Him and obey. May we all focus on Christ’s sufferings on the Cross, listen to Him and obey Him. Amen!
