“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.” (James 4:10)

Saul was helping his father when he walked smack-dab into the perfect will of God. In his search for some lost donkeys, Saul was directed to the area where the prophet Samuel lived. When Samuel laid eyes on Saul, the Lord told him that Saul was the one He had chosen to be king over Israel.

Then the Bible tells us that “Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: ‘Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?’ ” (1 Samuel 10:1)

The Spirit of God came upon Saul, and he prophesied with the prophets, which means that God spoke through Saul. We are also told that God gave him a new heart.

Then came a test in Saul’s life. Some questioned the choice of Saul as king. But Saul ignored them and just went about his business. After Samuel had anointed Saul as king, the Lord had not told him to do anything in particular. And to his credit, Saul went back to his responsibilities, which included plowing a field.

Often you will find that when you are engaged in task for the Lord, He will tell you what the next thing is. Saul was faithful in the little things, and God opened a great door for him.

If you want to be used by God, if you feel that one day the Lord might want you to be in ministry somewhere, then here is my advice for you: Be faithful in little things. Do what you can do. Don’t always look for the big things to do, because in the process of the little things God might surprise you by opening a great door for you.

“God says that if you will be faithful in the little things, then He will give you other things to do.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I am grateful that You are the Rock that I can stand on. Your always ever present in my times of need. Lord, in those times I feel that I am only doing small insignificant things for you, remind me of Your faithfulness and love for me, and that even in the small things You are at work. May Your Spirit lead me to draw close to You and trust in extreme ways. Help me to always choose Your Word over my feelings. I choose to have faith and trust in You. Help me to grow in wisdom and to be intentional with my life. Give me opportunities to step out in boldness to love, give and share my faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
