When we enter a new school year, we are filled with expectancy. Will I like my new class? Will I connect with the teacher? Will I make the soccer team? Will I have a role in the school play?
If we’re off to university, our anticipation is taken to a new level. How will I adjust to the larger campus environment? Will I find the workload overwhelming? Will I have the discipline to finish my assignments on time? Will I be able to make new friends?
1 Samuel 9 opens with a sense of expectancy. God is going to give Israel a king!! The people of Israel are entering a new chapter of their history. They have never had a king. Who will it be?
Today’s story is a story of God’s guiding hand and active intervention in a person’s life. The story invites us to ask how God is guiding our lives. What should you and I expect?
- God’s “more” means that God is already on the move.
- God’s “more” receives God’s confirmation.
- God’s “more” requires trust in God.
- God’s “more” is for every disciple, every day, everywhere.
