I Samuel 11:4-5 NKJV
a. So the messengers came: As the messengers spread out over all Israel, they came to Gibeah, Saul’s home city. Upon hearing of the plight of Jabesh Gilead, all the people lifted up their voices and wept. This was exactly the reaction Nahash hoped for.
b. Coming behind the herd from the field: This is the humility of the king of Israel. Saul was already anointed and recognized as king, yet in a sense there was nothing for him to do. He really didn’t know where to begin when it came to setting up a royal court and a bureaucracy and Israel never had one before. So, he just went back home, went to work in the field and figured God would tell him what to do when the time was right.
i. Saul was wise in going back to the farm. He knew it was the LORD’s job to raise him up as king over the nation, and he knew the LORD would do it in the right way at the right time. He didn’t have to promote himself or scheme on his own behalf. The LORD would do it.
c. They told him the words of the men of Jabesh: This also shows there was no established system of government in Israel. Otherwise, the king would be the first to know of the threat against Jabesh instead of hearing the news second or third hand. (Guzik)
The Lord Would Do It
Like Saul we need to wait on the Lord because the Lord would do it the right way at the right time.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior the Holy Spirit enters us and begins transforming our heart, ❤️ from within if you allow Him to!
”But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.“ Matthew 6:33 NKJV
If you are seeking, the Lord would do it.
Blessings
