[The Glory Unveiled]
And he (Saul’s servant) said to him (Saul), “Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.” ( 1 Samuel 9:6 )
Saul and his servant had been searching for Saul’s father’s missing donkeys. They had travelled many places, both far and near to search for it but to no avail. At last, Saul told his servant they should return home because their search was yielding no results. But right at that point, almost when Saul had despaired, the servant called to mind another option for finding what they had been looking for. The thing is, up until that time, they had been searching with their own methods and strategies. Truth is, whatever we are frantically looking for is not exactly hidden from everybody. The only reason why we may not find it, could be because we are using the wrong medium and approach to search it. When Saul and his Servant went to meet Samuel, the prophet, not only did he tell them what they were looking for almost before they could say a word about it, but Saul had the opportunity to know his purpose and calling (see 1 Samuel 9:20). Imagine they could have saved all those days they had spent searching for the donkeys if they had met Samuel earlier. There is an easier way of finding whatever we are desperately searching for. The solution is with someone we haven’t yet met. Go and meet that someone.
Prayer_Bead: Omniscient Father, Omnipresent King, the Lord who knows and sees all things, thank you for your plans for me and luring me into it with what I desperately need.
