About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over my people Israel

1 Samuel 9:1-17

Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else.

When they reached the district of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”

But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take.”

Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?” The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel[a] of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.”

“Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let’s go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.

Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed this to Samuel: “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him ruler over my people Israel; he will deliver them from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked on my people, for their cry has reached me.”

Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?” “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart.

Why?

Saul came to look for his father's dokey, but the Lord arranged for Saul to be a leader of Israel through Samuel.

Saul knew to ask the seer to give guidance and prepare a gift for the seer. Saul was polite and gentle.

From the view of a human being, Saul is a wonderful candidate to be a leader, handsome, tall, and living in a rich home.

How?

The Lord prepared everyone who trusts in the Lord to go on the way that God prepared, so we don't worry and don't ask the Lord why!
