I
Samuel 10. Saul is Anointed as King
Samuel
anoints Saul as king and then kisses him, which was probably an act demonstrating
his personal affection for Saul
Saul
could not understand how a man like him could lead the nation of Israel, so God
gave him a series of “signs” to assure him for his new responsibilities.
A
leader must trust God to solve problems, to provide needs, and to give power
needed for service. He must know how to hear God’s Word and wait obediently on
the Lord. Saul began his ministry in the strength of these assurances, but as
time went on, he trusted more and more in himself and rebelled against God’s
Word.
His
modesty in saying nothing about the kingdom and his self-control in not
answering his critics are commendable, but he felt the need to hide on his
coronation day. He did a great deal of hiding in his leadership, but God found
him out. As the book of Proverbs says, “He who covers his sins will not
prosper.” (28:13)
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
