I Samuel 11:13-14
“But Saul said, ‘Nobody is going to be executed this day. This is the day GOD saved Israel! Come, let’s go to Gilgal and there reconsecrate the kingship.’”
“But Saul replied, ‘No one will be executed today, for today the Lord has rescued Israel. Then Samuel said to the people, ‘Come, let us all go to Gilgal to renew the Kingdom.’”
Hooray for Saul! He passed his first leadership test. Earlier in this chapter verses 6-7 tell us the Spirit of God came upon Saul. God’s Spirit made Saul into a different man, a man who could lead Israel to victory. The lesson is that God supplies what we need to do the task he assigns us. Saul first experiences this truth here and it is wonderful to read. The walk of faith requires we stand upon this promise throughout our lives.
Lord, at difficult times I wilt before your call to step into your purpose. Have mercy on me. Help me to rise above my inadequacy and count on your strength to do and be according to your call.
