Saul, accompanied by his servant, was on a quest to find his father's lost donkeys. As they neared the town where Samuel, the seer, resided, they encountered young women drawing water. This scene paints a vivid picture of daily life in ancient Israel, where fetching water was a routine task for women. The question posed to the women, "Is the seer here?", underscores Saul's earnestness in seeking divine guidance and wisdom. This moment is pivotal, as it sets the stage for Saul's anointing as the first king of Israel. It illustrates how God orchestrates events in our lives, often using ordinary people and situations to fulfill His greater plans. The encounter encourages us to remain open to divine guidance, even in the mundane aspects of life, and to be attentive to how God might be directing our paths through seemingly ordinary interactions.
