Are we like Saul?

1 Samuel 8-10

Saul lost his donkey and nowhere to be found. His servants suggested visiting the seer (Samuel), everything he says comes true. So Saul visited Samuel. The day before Saul’s visit, God told Samuel to anoint Saul as the king.

When Saul visited Samuel, all on his mind is the lost donkey. But God wants him to be the king. Saul and Samuel met, with completely different agendas.

Are we like Saul in our lives? We approached God for jobs, houses, cars, …with nothing else on our mind, but God wants us to be the king.

Am I like Saul in the past few months?
