Of the matter of the kingdom…he told him not

“And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spoke, he told him not.” – 1 Samuel 10v16


When Saul returned home from finding out that he was going to become king all he could talk about was the fact that Samuel had told him where to find the sheep. He didn’t mention his anointing, his change of heart, his creation as a new man, or the Holy Spirit coming to dwell in him.

Far too often God’s people are like Samuel. We will talk about anything except what God does for us. We will talk about all of the practical things that happened, but not about what God is doing in our lives. It is sad that those things are so often more important that what is happening to us spiritually.
Next time God is working in our lives and someone asks us how we are doing, may we have the courage to say more than – “Well, I found the donkeys!”
