The Kitchen Table Devotional
David Day 3
Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. So, Kish said to his son Saul, “Take now with you one of the servants, and arise, go search for the donkeys.”
1 Samuel 9:3
Don’t take your beginning for granted. Saul’s story begins with what was lost, and David’s starts with what was won. Saul stood head and shoulders above the other me, David, not so much. Saul’s story begins with what he can’t do, while David’s story starts with what he did do. Life begins with us and what we each think we can and can’t do. Nothing is said about Saul’s relationship with God, but David is the man with a heart after God. How we begin greatly impacts how we end. Something we start with that seems so insignificant, spending time with God, has a great impact on how we live for God. Saul lost his donkeys but David won his battles with the lion and the bear because his insignificant time with God showed up in those very significant times.
