Touched Hearts
1 Samuel 10:26
Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whose hearts God had touched.
The heart has been important in Samuel, and this is the third time it has come up in Saul's story.
After Samuel made the announcement to all of Israel about their new king, presenting Saul, he dismissed them all to go home. Saul went home as well, but now he has a posse, a group of backers. They are valiant men. I like that. While others were spiteful troublemakers, their hearts touched by envy or hatred, these men let God touch their hearts and bring them into the heart of history.
Though Saul went down later, it started out well. He was surrounded by God's men.
God, let me be one whose heart is touched to do right, to defend your people, or to stand by those you've entrusted to me. Let me be valiant in my world.
Touch my heart, my secret thought, my innermost core.
