1 Samuel 10

As I have been doing a study of 1 Samuel we were doing one chapter
per night. I prepare through the day then teach it to my wife and the children in the evening.
I was learning heaps! It is great studying Gods Word, don't you think, Men?

So last night we did Chapter 10, and in this section of verses v20-v22. Saul is missing when God wants to publicly anoint him King. I think it happens to us also; God calls us, anoints us, he shows us his
power, he fills us with his Holy Spirit, and we go and hide behind some stuff, hoping that God 
will not spot us and use us for His glory.

Sometimes we hide behind our busy lives or our own shortcomings, or
sometimes we hide because we are too scared to fail.

But God has not chosen us because we are useful and complete, 
He has chosen us because we are broken, sinful people in need of a saviour.

He's not chosen us because we are really something;
He has chosen us because He is really something.

Men, I think we need to stop hiding behind the stuff and let God do his work through 
our lives "because He is able". 
What do you think?

(1Sa 10:20) And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.

(1Sa 10:21) When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

(1Sa 10:22) Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, "Has the man come here yet?" And the LORD answered, "There he is, hidden among the equipment."
