God was already at work in preparing a young lad who one day would assume kingship over Israel and who had the type of heart that God was searching after (I Samuel 13:14). King Saul's heart was not in right relationship with God. Saul did not always act in the wisest of ways and this led to frustration for his son and his soldiers (I Sam. 14:28-32). Is our heart in the right place? Are we acting wisely by basing our counsel off of God's Word?
In Luke 10, we see Jesus sending the seventy-two out to proclaim the gospel. It was very wise of Jesus to send them out 2 x 2 (Luke 10:1). Is not it interesting to see how different cities approach the gospel message (v. 12-15)? It is no different today. Some cities are known for their crimes, others for their new age religion, and others for their kind generosity. The real question is how do cities react to Jesus and his gospel message (v. 16). God has not left the results up to us. However, He has left us his message and He has told us to share it (Mt. 28:19-20).
