1 Samuel 10:21b TB Akhirnya disuruhnyalah kaum keluarga Matri tampil ke muka seorang demi seorang, maka didapati Saul bin Kish. Tetapi ketika ia dicari, ia tidak diketemukan.
Di awal Saul yang dipilih sebagai raja penuh dengan keminderan, tetapi saat melihat semua karena kemampuan, kehebatan dari dirinya, disitu dia gagal meneruskan Visi Bapa.
Kisah Para Rasul 13:9-10 TB
“Tetapi Saulus, juga disebut Paulus, yang penuh dengan Roh Kudus, menatap dia, dan berkata: ”Hai anak Iblis, engkau penuh dengan rupa-rupa tipu muslihat dan kejahatan, engkau musuh segala kebenaran, tidakkah engkau akan berhenti membelokkan Jalan Tuhan yang lurus itu?”
Paulus yang arti namanya adalah kecil. Tetapi paulus melihat bukan keterbatasan atau kehebatan dirinya tetapi Paulus melihat ada Kuasa Roh Kudus dalam hidupnya yang sanggup menggenapi Visi Bapa.
1 Samuel 10:21 (KJV) When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
Saul, who was chosen to be king, started out feeling inferiority, but when he saw his own abilities and strengths, he failed to fulfill God’s vision.
Acts 13:9-10 (KJV) Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
But Paul, whose name means “small,” was full of the Holy Spirit. He didn’t focus on his limitations or strengths, but on the power of the Holy Spirit in him that could fulfill God’s vision.”
