Sure Signs...

When he turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. And all these signs came to pass that day. When they came to Gibeah, behold, a group of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them. And when all who knew him previously saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, “What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” And a man of the place answered, “And who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place. Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And he said, “To seek the donkeys. And when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.” And Saul's uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.” And Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.” But about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him anything. (1 Samuel 10:9-16 ESV)
When Samuel informed Saul that he would be the first King of Israel, he gave him three signs to confirm that promise, which would give Saul confidence of it's truth.  The first two built a case, but the third one was what really made it pronounced.  God was not giving Saul the strength of Samson or the wisdom of Solomon (both of which would have been handy in fighting the Philistines.) He was giving Him the privilege of speaking and singing the word of God, which is always true. This act of prophesying was at times done with music, helping us to understand a little more clearly God's call to us: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. (Colossians 3:16 ESV) Whatever challenges God is laying before us, individually or as a fellowship of believers, Sharing the truth of God's Word is the best builder of confidence, wisdom and strength we can have. Let us share freely.
