God Is A Sender

# 111 – Today's Du-votional comes from 1Sa 9:14-16a, “So they went up to the city. As they were coming into the city, there was Samuel, coming out toward them on his way up to the high place. 15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying, 16 "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; (1 Sam 9:14-16a) What a coincidence! Saul bumping into Samuel just before the sacrifice. And what's this? God had already been talking to Samuel about this encounter. God told Samuel the day before that “He would send,” this man to him. He told Samuel that the man would be a Benjamite, and He even told Samuel about what time of day to expect him! Let me tell you something about the Lord that you may or may not know. He is a sender! Have you realized this truth yet in your life? God sends His grace to us from heaven for all of our needs. Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. When Adam needed a mate, God brought (sent) Eve. He also SENT His Son at the “just right” time as we read in Ga 4:4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, God's timing is impeccable! He sends forth! There is no need for us to scurry about looking for what we think we need. Samuel did not have to spend time and energy looking for Saul. He simply carried on with his life and duties as a child of God, trusting God to deliver the goods....and He did. Friend, are you waiting for something in your life? A job? A mate? A child? Direction? Believe this truth! Believe that God is a perfectly on time sender . Come boldly to the throne of grace with your requests, then wait. But don't just twiddle your thumbs, serve Him where He has placed you as Samuel did, confident that He will send your answer in His perfect timing.
