“When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come, let us go back, lest my father cease to care about the donkeys and become anxious about us.” But he said to him, “Behold, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honor; all that he says comes true. So now let us go there. Perhaps he can tell us the way we should go.”
Now the day before Saul came, the Lord had revealed to Samuel: “Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He shall save my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have seen my people, because their cry has come to me.” When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! He it is who shall restrain my people.””

All,
This stands out because the Lord says, “Tomorrow about this time I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel.” We know that God has a purpose for our lives and He has created the path to that purpose. However, we are to do our part by trusting Him daily and walking on that path. Has God put anything on your heart that you are still in hesitation? Can today be the day you decide to take the first step? Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s purpose today and take the first step. Please pray for the CLC Buckhead social on August 10th.
