Donkeys, Detours, and Divine Appointments

from The Radical Root Hosted by Sandy Ray

In this episode, we explore Saul’s unexpected rise in 1 Samuel 9 and how God’s perspective often differs from our own. Though Saul saw himself through the lens of smallness and past losses, God saw strength, inheritance, and purpose. Every detail of Saul’s journey—from the servant with the silver to the women drawing water at the well—was divinely ordered to bring him to Samuel at the appointed time. Saul’s story reminds us to look again, think higher, and trust that God is preparing us for more than we realize. What feels like wandering may actually be divine choreography leading you into your calling.
