1 Samuel 9 made me think of how sometimes God puts people in our lives that make small differences, yet it changes everything. In this chapter, Saul is out searching for his father's escaped donkeys with a servant boy. Saul get ready to return, unsuccessful, but the boy suggests they go speak to the town prophet and see if he can direct them to the animals. Nowhere in the text does it say that God has anything to do with the boy's suggestion, but tells us the facts of how the event occurred. It does tell us that God had spoken to Samuel about Saul's arrival and told him that Saul was to be the anointed king.
It made me wonder how many of the biggest events in our lives are caused by something so small as the servant boy's suggestion to speak to the seer. God can, and will, use anything and everything in our lives to work out His plans.
