Drake and God’s Plan v 24
1 Sam 9:15-27- Choosing of Saul. Prophet, choosing, ends with a dinner with a thigh of meat.There’s a song called “God’s plan” by and Artist named Drake. I don’t want to besmirch him as a person, but for context, this song is one of the biggest hits of the past 25 years. 101m streams. 858m views on youtube. Drake is worth 120m at 31 years old. He’s an influencer.The problem with “God’s plan” is that songs like that influence people to believe that because Drake says that his life is “God’s plan” that somehow God has looked down from heaven, made Drake a millionaire with mansions, and a child with a porn star on the back of Godless lyrics.People look and see his worldly ‘success’ and justify it as ‘god’s plan’. This is not gods plan.
God’s plan comes from him, not you
15 Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, “the Lord had told”That’s the beginning of God’s plan. It comes from him. Not you. Samuel didn’t go to God and say “tell me who the king will be because we want one” God sees the issue, he speaks to Samuel so Samuel can do HIS planThis is where the disconnect happens for many people. They come up with a plan, and then they come to God asking him to bless it instead of waiting for God to give HIS plan. (dating)Psalm 33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.God is working a cosmic plan to bring about his eternal endsEven in this story, God is laying the groundwork for the supreme King- Jesus. Saul is going to be flawed- very flawed- proving to the Israelites the fallacy of having an earthly king other than God.The problem is that often people who don’t even know the God of the Bible want to think that they know God’s plan, but if you Don’t know God, you don’t know his plan.To the reprobate nations Micah spoke- Micah 4:12 But they do not know the thoughts of the Lord, Nor do they understand His counsel;If you are not a believer of Jesus, reading his word, walking in his ways, you cannot discern his plan. You are not in his plan or on his team.God’s plan may not make sense to you- but it makes sense to God and that is all that mattersJob 23:13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that He does.
What does it mean to you?If you are not on the God plan, you are walking in rebellion. God’s plan is not your will its his.Isaiah 30:1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin;Paul even said in 1 Cor 1: 17 Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?He wanted his plans to be God’s plan. Not fleshly. Not of his own design.Who is making your plans for your life? You? Or God?Jobs, spouses, houses, location to live, Friends to have, how to spend your money, how to spend your time?The first step to understanding God’s plan is to die to yourself. If you aren’t dead to yourself, you can never understand or live out God’s plan. It will not workGalatians 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.If you are being ran by your desires and passions the Bible says you’re are not Christs
God’s plan is his timing v16 “Tomorrow about this time”
God told Samuel who and God told Samuel WhenThe plans of God are on HIS timeline not yours. God is fine with you waiting. It doesn’t botherLike when parents make kids wait- The kid thinks they are going to die, parents notsomuchEven when God sent Jesus- it was on HIS timeline-Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of the tim...
