Saul's Excuses, the Servant's Solutions

1 Samuel 9:6 KJV
And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.

My oldest son, Bohannan, preached on the "structural flaws" of Saul in our last Wednesday night service. The next day both of my boys were at my home and we visited about that message; especially Saul's lack of spiritual desire. My youngest son, Caleb, remarked, "Saul kept making excuses and the servant kept giving solutions."

The work of the servant of the Lord is just that, to bring the things of the Lord to the minds of those they meet and, when those people offer excuses for not coming to the Lord, provide solutions to their excuses. In other words we clear the way between the lost and the Lord; we remove the excuses that prevent them from coming to Christ and from growing in the knowledge and the grace of the Lord.
