Trusting God With Big Decisions | 1 Samuel

Do you have a big decision in front of you and need direction from God?
Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller.
This week, we are in 1 Samuel 9. I've titled this chapter "Guided By God."
Over the next four chapters, we will resolve one major question: What kind of leader does God want?
And the key text of this chapter reveals God's answer. It is 1 Samuel 9:17, which reads:
When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! He it is who shall restrain my people.”- 1 Samuel 9:17
We make choices every day. Some studies estimate that the average adult makes about 35,000 conscious choices every day. These decisions include small, routine choices as well as larger, more consequential ones. However, every once in a while, we are faced with a significant choice. What makes this choice more challenging are things like competing values, uncertain consequences, unmet expectations, and unknown outcomes. All of these factors add a lot of pressure to this one choice.
In Chapter 9, we notice that Samuel is not too concerned about God's choice for the first king of Israel, mainly because Samuel knows that God will provide. In fact, in this chapter, we will see that God will lead his choice for a king right to Samuel's house for dinner.
If you want to experience less anxiety in life while making both small and big decisions, it's important to live a life guided by God. This means recognizing God's presence in everyday life. When we fail to acknowledge God's involvement in the 35,000 small decisions, it becomes difficult to see His involvement in the one big decision. However, if we do recognize his presence, the decision becomes easier. We simply trust that he will reveal the answer through the small things he does along the way.
This is exactly what Samuel does in this chapter. He sees the divine providence and hears God's divine voice, and he responds.
And so should you.
