Why do you say such a thing to me?

1 Samuel 9:1-25
The Lord chose Saul, an impressive young man without equal among the Israelites as king of Isreal.
 When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, “This is the man I spoke to you about; he will govern my people.”
Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?
And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
A search for lost donkeys, of all things, bring Israel's future king from Gibeah to Ramah and the meeting with Samuel. All Isreal knows the prophet, but not apparently, this young provincial.
Why?
God raise his people from the dust, so God chose Saul from Benjamite and from the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
Why do you say such a thing to me? Because this is the work of the Lord.
No one knows why but God will do on his plan, his idea. And God's way beyond our way.
How?
Do not wander or worry about anything for our God is the sovereign Lord.
