#soap # 1 Samuel 19 ## Title: Overwhelmed by God’s Presence ## Scripture: (1 Samuel 19:23-24) So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. The Spirit of God came upon him as well, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah. He even stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel. He lay there naked all that day and night. (For that reason it is asked, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”) (NET) ## Observation: God intercepted Saul so David could get away. There are so many times I have purposefully walked into a “trap” laid by God. I can get so wrapped up in my own plans that my head ends up in a bad place. When I realize it, I will put on a worship song or go to church hoping God will ‘intercept’ me. It never fails. God is always looking to have fellowship with us. In your planning and in your walking, make time for a supernatural intervention. I hope they happen often. ## Application: Realize that we make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always leading us, sometimes in spite of us.
