[Discoveries] 10-10-07 Starting small -- 1 Samuel 10:4

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread, which you will 
accept from them. -- 1 Samuel 10:4*/

Saul had just received the startling news. God had appointed him king. 
Samuel was laying out some predictions to confirm Saul's new identity. 
And then, he slips in Saul's first instruction: "...which you will 
accept from them."

God didn't start by telling Saul to negotiate a treaty or raise an army 
or build a palace. He started with something simple: Someone is going to 
offer you a gift -- accept it.

While it is true that God has given us an identity as royal sons and 
daughters of the High King, He knows exactly where we are in our growth 
toward maturity, and He builds our lives with simple instructions, 
step-by-step obedience.

Our calling may be great, but God breaks a great life down into 
moment-by-moment opportunities to say, "Yes, Lord," to simple instructions.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
