Have you ever read the amazing story of how Saul came to be king? You can read about this in 1 Samuel 9.
It all started when Saul’s father lost some asses and sent him to go and find them with his servant. They went all over the place looking for the donkeys. When their search was fruitless, Saul suggested that they go back home in case his dad was worried about them too.
Saul’s servant then said that the city where they were at was right there where Samuel was and they should try and go and see him. I don’t think that the asses going missing was just a coincidence, because he was at the right place and the right time for Samuel to speak into his life and to place him as king.
So where am I going with this observation? Well in your own personal life with the Lord, He will do the same thing with you. He will arrange perfect timings that will bless you and bring the answers to your desires across your path.
The Lord wants to bless you with everything that you desire. So when you start to speak out your desires, see the picture of what you want clearly in your mind and grab a hold of those things by faith, the Lord will move on your behalf and make sure you receive those desires.
Maybe you would like a new job, a new car or perhaps a spouse. You don’t have any idea how that desire will come to pass. But as you keep that desire in your heart and know that you have it by faith, you will be amazed at how the answer can come.
Saul was not even desiring or thinking about becoming king. But the Lord nevertheless arranged for him to meet Samuel at the perfect time. However we as born again New Testament believers have so much more possibilities to live the lives that we desire and receive the things that we desire.
I want to share an example of how this can work with you. Our family desperately needed a new car, but we had no idea of how this could come about in the natural. My son drove the previous car, so we discussed it together and decided what we would like.
The consensus was united. We wanted a small family car which was easier to drive, because the previous one was big and not so easy to manoever. He also wanted it to be an automatic. That was an important desire.
That being formulated we wondered where we should go to look for this car. There were so many places around where we lived, but after looking on a map, we decided to head for a street that had 3 or 4 different car lots on it.
The Lord really led us from there. We decided to start at the top of the road and work down. We walked into the first lot and there was an adorable, brand new little blue Datsun go. And guess what? It was automatic!
We just loved it from the start. We went to another few lots further down but there was nothing that came close to it.
We decided that we wanted that car. So after discussing it further, we decided to just put in an application to buy it and see what happened.
We got the paperwork, returned there a short while later and got the confirmation that the car was approved that very afternoon. Everything worked like clockwork and there were no hitches. A week later we drove our beloved car off the car lot and rejoiced in the Lord’s goodness.
I want you to realise that whatever you desire, as you keep your faith in the field, together with the Lord those things will manifest at the perfect time and the perfect way. You will have no doubt in your mind and you can rejoice in the blessing of the Lord in your life.
Your Turn
So where are you at today? What are you desiring that would be a blessing to you? Say what you desire. See the picture very clearly in your mind and do not deviate from it. Then reach out in faith and grab a hold of it according to Mark 11:24.
Because of this, I am telling you, no matter what you are asking for yourself, while you are praying, confidently reach out and lay hold of it and it will take place. (GBMV)
Do not give up, but keep going even when you cannot see any sign of it manifesting. Suddenly you will see the Lord putting you into the perfect place and circumstance for you to receive your answer.
Many blessings to you.
