I Samuel 10:22

Samuel went back to GOD: ‘Is he anywhere around?’ GOD said, ‘Yes, he’s right over there—hidden in that pile of baggage.’
— The Message
So they asked the Lord, ‘Where is he?’ And the Lord replied, ‘He is hidden among the baggage.’
— New Living Translation

Saul was not the only person who didn’t feel fit for God’s purpose. Saul was selected by God in the presence of all the people. God had blessed him with clear signs of his destiny. Still, he was ridden with insecurity. We are the same. God works through our weakness rather than our strength. (II Corinthians 12:10) God is honored and we are kept from our essential desire, to climb up onto his throne. Like Saul, we must decide whether God is capable of doing what we know is utterly hopeless.

Lord, I believe your purpose can take me to places I never thought to go. Help me in my unbelief, those times when I am mired in self and my faith falters.
