[Discoveries] 10-11-07 Hiding places -- 1 Samuel 10:22

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*And the Lord said, "Yes, he has hidden himself among the baggage." -- 
1 Samuel 10:22*/

God knows our hiding places. In this passage, Samuel was introducing 
Saul to the nation of Israel as their king. As a way of confirming the 
anointing Saul had already received, Saul was selected by lot when all 
the tribes of Israel gathered at Mizpah. But, instead of stepping up to 
the plate, Saul hides.

I wonder how God felt to see the king He had chosen hiding. Saul's 
response is very different than Mary's ("I am the Lord's servant; let it 
be unto me according to your word.") or Isaiah's ("Here am I; send me.").

Why do we hide? Because we know too much of ourselves and not enough of 
our God.

Be encouraged!
