?'"*% lung. even though it did Dot please
?Him God spoke to Samuel the day
05 before he saw Saul and told him who
' ""*the king would be. God told him also
/'-that the king would come from the
" tribe of Benjamin God instructed
Samuel that the same tune the next
' day he would send the leader that he
wanted for his people God told
?" Samuel to anoint Saul because he
- Would be the one to deliver Israel
j from the handofthe Philistines. Once
-' -igain. God had heard the cry of His
1' people. Israel apparently looked at
" JU?e Philistines with their king and
flower and thought that if they had a
lung to lead them they would be a
"great nation. Like our educators and
^'leaders today who are looking for
landers to crime and behavioral
?" problems in our society through
. human solutions. Israel was looking
for a human solution to their problem
The answer to today's problem and
" Israel's problem has been and always
will be making God the priority in our
lives Samuel was foil of wisdom and
' followed the leadership of the Lord
When God spoke to him and told him
that Saul was the man. he recognized
Saul and heard the voice of God What
the church of God needs lodav is more
people in tune with God who can hear
Hi< voice when He speaks ?Ve need
spun Ailed Christians u share the
good news of the gospel of Jesus
Christ It worked for our elders, it will
work for us
11 Samuel's Amouusmg M (I
Sumuel 19:1)
Saul was out looking fcr livestock
and apparently lost his way; so he
decided since be was in the area of the
seer, he would And him and get
directions from Samuel (the Seer) on
how'to return home Saul was not
aware of what was about to transpire
God sometimes puts us in places so
we can be used without us really
knowing why we are there Saul did
not know thai he was about to become
King of Israel When Samuel informed
him thai God bad chosen him to be
King, be reminded Samuel that he
was from the Tribe of Benjamin, the
smallest of all the tribes Certainly
God did not w ant someone of notoriety
Saul was reluctant and began to make
excuses for not being king Many
times God calls people for His work,
and thev are reluctant to do what He
would have them do. God will not ask
us to do anything that He will not
empower us to do. Samuel presented
haul to the elders of Israel, and they
were pleased with him. After the
meeting. Samuel and Saul left with
Saul's servant. Samuel sent Saul's
servant on ahead of them and then he
toke the vial of oil and anointed Saul
Publicly us Ming
(I Samuel 10:20-24)
Samuel had given Saul some
I
hlJTw be^xngof
Israel. When Saul returned home, he
told hu uocle about tbe trip, except
EgSSESOttt
be kit* Maybe he didn't any anything
^sa^sswas
might go away Nevertheless, Samuel
called all tbe tribes together to
mmounce who God had choeea as
kins Samuel took the tribe of
Benjamin. then he took the ftanily of
Math. Then Said, son of Itah, was
called; but he was aowbete to be
found. No doubt it seemed to Saalaad
awesome responsibility to be cast mto
the positioo of king, especially when
he Kit inarirqtiatr for the job. She
Saul did what a lot of us want to do
sometimes, he hid. Some of the tribe
found Saul and brought him to the
people and he stood taller among the
people than anyone else. He wasaftill
head higher than any of the other
people. So the people of Israel were
pleased to have Saul as their king.
When God chooses us to do anything,
he will empower us for the job. If lie
warns us to teaa a group, newiu mace
the hearts of those were are to lead
ready to accept and follow Many
times the things that God wants us to
do are a lot different from what we
want to do. Let's be obedient to God
and He will empower us to do great
things for His glory Remember that
to obey is better than sacrifice.
God bless you until next week. I
Pray for us.

;? In 1953, Nurse Thelma lean
r Reeves Admitted
1 And Cared For
A 71b. 8oz.
^ Baby Nurse.
v\
When Thelma Jean Reeves admitted
and cared for "baby giri Howefl" in
October 1953, she had no idea that some
jj: 40 years later that little baby would be a
co-worker. But Deborah Howell Sealey,
RN has come full circle and is now
working in SRMC's Outpatient Surgery.
Thelma Jean's caring must have made a
lasting impression, because over the
>?; years, several of her nursery babies have
; grown up to become nurses themselves^
I She has not only 9een changes in
people, she has
\;i seen a great deal
\<\ ofchangeinour
5:3 hospital. Her
i l favorite is our
*;jl New Life Birthing Suites, which offers six private,
home-like birthing suites. Each converts to a high-tech
delivery room in a matter of seconds and features a private
in-suite nursery. But best of all, this facility, and our neonatal
Jl* intensive care nursery, comes complete with Thdma Jean
and other nurses like her.
