#soap # 1 Samuel 10 ## Title: God Knows Your Worth Better Than You ## Scripture: (1 Samuel 10:22-23) So they inquired again of the Lord, “Has the man arrived here yet?” The Lord said, “He has hidden himself among the equipment.” So they ran and brought him from there. When he took his position among the people, he stood head and shoulders above them all. (NET) ## Observation: Saul was hiding from the opportunity. He apparently had something in him that didn’t want to take the job. Perhaps he didn’t feel up to the task. Perhaps it was just plain fear. The interesting part of this story is that God did not let him run. It was the Lord who gave Samuel the wisdom to know where Saul was. Sometimes God will put you in uncomfortable positions because He knows what is in you better than you do. ## Application: Trust the Lord. If you are there, be there and let Him lead you. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for knowing us.
