Scripture Reading
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?
Devotional Reflection
Yesterday, Saul was stopped in his tracks.
Interrupted.
Confronted.
Awakened to a truth he had not yet seen.
And in that moment,
everything he thought he understood
began to shift.
But interruption is not the end.
It leads to a question.
A simple one.
A decisive one.
And the way Saul responds
changes everything.
“Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?”
Saul doesn’t argue.
He doesn’t defend himself.
He doesn’t try to explain.
He asks.
“Lord… what do You want?”
This is the turning point.
Not just seeing the truth—
but yielding to it.
Because transformation is not complete
when we recognize God.
It begins
when we surrender to Him.
Before this moment, Saul was leading his own path.
Confident.
Determined.
Certain.
Now, everything changes.
He no longer asks,
“What do I think is right?”
He asks,
“What does God desire?”
This is the shift
from control…
to trust.
Today, pause.
In your decisions,
your plans,
your direction—
ask the better question:
“Lord, what would You have me do?”
Not what’s easiest.
Not what’s most comfortable.
But what’s aligned with Him.
You may not receive every answer immediately.
But asking that question
opens the heart to be led.
Closing Prayer
Lord,
There are many times I move forward
with my own plans,
my own preferences,
and my own understanding.
I choose direction
before seeking Your guidance.
But today, I pause.
Teach me to ask
before I act.
To seek Your will
before I follow my own.
Give me a heart that is willing
to be led,
not just convinced.
When I am uncertain,
guide me.
When I am hesitant,
steady me.
And when I hear Your direction,
give me the courage
to follow without resistance.
Because true peace is not found
in controlling my path—
but in walking the one You set before me.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
