Suddenly,
the Spirit of the Lord will take control of you, and animate every action, and
you’ll be a new man. After this, just do what you find to do because God is
with you. (1 Samuel 10:6-7)
At
the end of a very long week, have you wondered what it would be like to accept
Jesus’ offer to rest in Him? Do you sometimes long for the rest and peace that
He promises (Matthew 11:28-30)?
Samuel
describes the life that you live once God changes you. He tells Saul what to
expect, and how to act when he is transformed into a new man – a man fit to be
the first king of Israel. God has given you a kingdom; a people whom He loves
and whom you are to lead, to influence, and to love. He intends that they too
will be changed (2 Corinthians 5:17), be led to unity (John 17:21) in the Lord
(John 10:30), and become a new people – alive in His kingdom. The one requirement
of you is that you allow the Spirit of the Lord to take control of you, and
animate every action – making you become a new person.
You
can rest in Jesus. Simply trust Him, and what He shows you to do. He will be
with you if you ask Him to take control of your life.
