Several characteristics we learn about Saul from this passage.
Saul was looking for the person who would give visions to the prophets (vv. 9-10). He and his servant went to the town where the prophet lived (v. 11). As they were going up the hill to the town, they met some young women coming out to get water, and they said to them, “We’re looking for the man who can see visions. Is he in town (v. 12)?” “Yes, he is,” they replied. “He’s in town today because there’s going to be a sacrifice and a sacred meal at the place of worship. In fact, he’s just ahead of you. Hurry and you should find him right inside the town gate (v. 13). He’s on his way out to the place of worship to eat with the invited guests. They can’t start eating until he blesses the sacrifice. If you go now, you should find him.” As they went to the town, and just as they were going through the gate, Samuel was coming out (v. 14).
Application
I need to recognize that even the little things that happen in my life have a purpose and I need to be ready to learn the lesson that God wants to teach me.
