"Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whose hearts God had touched. But some troublemakers said, "How can this fellow save us?" They despised him and brought him no gifts."
----- 1 Samuel 10:26
Two observations:
1) When you are doing something of great importance for God's glory. He will always send people to take the journey with you. The strength of two is greater than the strength of one, when two are working as one (Coach K).
2) The men of Israel insisted for a king against Samuel's counsel. Now that they have one, they despise the first pick. Sometimes what others say and mean are two different things. It is possible they truly did want a king, but wanted that choice for king to be their choice. Unanimous decisions are difficult when there is more than one person involved.
"Father, open my eyes today to see Your hand at work."
