Samuel - Looking for One Thing & Finding Another - 1 Sam 9:1-10:9
Recap
Samuel - Eli - Ark - Phillistines - King = Saul
What We Look For - Samuel’s election
Benjamin - Kish - genealogy = important / [valor, man of power, of standing, influential]
They wanted a king like all the other nations and that is exactly what God would bring them…
Kish Sends Saul After Donkeys
donkeys = animal of the king
looked everywhere and cannot find them - not a great shepherd !!
forget the donkeys lets go back / Joseph - taken by wild animals [dads gonna worry]
Spiritual Servant
man of God - held in honor - all he says = help ?
Saul - gift for the man ?/
Servant - quarter shekel silver / Saul - great >
How is it that Saul did not know about Samuel…?
All the use they would make of the man of God was to be advised by him whether they should return home, or, if there were any hopes of finding the asses, which way they must go next—a poor business to employ a prophet about!
Most people would rather be told their fortune than told their duty, how to be rich than how to be saved.
If it were the business of the men of God to direct for the recovery of lost asses, they would be consulted much more than they are now that it is their business to direct for the recovery of lost souls; so preposterous is the care of most men!
I Want You To See God’s Sovereignty Here!!
Travel To City - [Ramah?]
young women - water/well - [historically precursor to marriage]
good timing / God Timing …
LOL - you heard of Jeff Fox-worthy - Here’s your sign !!
they go up & run into Samuel
Saul and Samuel
Samuel - your average guy… House of seer?
Samuel = I’m him and…
come with me and eat now
stay the night and we’ll talk tomorrow
don’t worry about the donkeys [3 days]
good things to you and your household
Saul = I’m a nobody from nowhere why are you talking to me like this?
Feast & Future
Saul - head of table [30]
Samuel - bring out good portion = Leg = kept for priests
Saul - sleeps on Sam’s roof = nice cool spot / common
Daybreak - come down and lets talk before you go… / send servant away
Chapter 10
Samuel’s / Saul’s Signs
Two men by Rachel’s tomb talking about donkeys
Three men by Oak of Tabor, Bethel - goats, bread, wine = two loafs of bread
Group of prophets and you too will prophesy

What is the point of this story?
How does this apply to me today?
This is not a story about a man who loses something valuable and is unable to find it.
This is a story about a man who uncovers buried treasure while searching for a penny.
Saul was not seeking after God and yet God chose him.
If you do not belong to Christ today know that He is pursuing you
If you do know Jesus today know that it is not because you went looking for Him but rather He for you
Saul was not seeking after God and yet God chose him.
Therefore how much more should we be encouraged to seek God for we WILL find Him
Therefore never give up sharing and praying for those that are lost
