—1 Samuel 9:5-10
by: Paula Davis.
Saul and his servant almost quit searching for his father’s donkeys, but finally decided to ask Samuel for wisdom. How often are we guilty of trying to solve problems on our own before seeking God’s wisdom in prayer, in His Word, and through godly people? James 1:5 reminds us that God will give wisdom generously when we ask with right motives. When Saul sought Samuel, he got more than he bargained for with the news that God had chosen him as the first king of Israel! Seek what God has for you today as you pursue His wisdom instead of your own.
