Contemplation (verse 20-21)
Saul, that son of Kish, was not himself at all ambitious of becoming a king but was going in quest of his asses and came to ask the prophet about them. The prophet, however, proceeded to speak to him of the kingdom, but not even then did he run greedily after it, though he heard about it from a prophet, but drew back and deprecated it, saying, “Who am I, and what is my father’s house?”
+ St John Chrysostom

Personal Reflection
How often are we fixated on receiving something from God not realising that He has much more in store for us?

Bible Knowledge Question
Which tribe of Israel was Saul from?

Prayer
Dear Lord, lift our eyes to Your heavenly kingdom. We seek earthly riches blinding us from the true reward that is eternal life with You
