Changed Heart
1 Samuel 10:9
As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul's heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day.
This is such a sharp, graphic moment. It comes only a few verses after yesterday's heart, where Samuel promised to tell Saul all that was in his heart.
Now Samuel has anointed him, and given him the promised heart reading. The prophesy went on to say that Saul would prophesy among the prophets before the day was over.
Also, after the coming of the Spirit of the Lord, he would be 'changed into a different person.'
But the change started sooner than that, in the moment Saul turned from Samuel. Was there a flash of faith, a burst of grace that gave Saul a vision of himself, no longer an errand boy after wayward donkeys, but the king of his nation? King of God's chosen people?
God, give me that Spirit, that moment of faith that changes my heart. Make me what you want. Give me a purpose, lead me to the seer, give me a higher goal than the dusty tracks of donkeys.
