About this episode
This lesson focuses on how God equips those He calls. When Saul was anointed as king, he was timid and uncertain about his ability to lead. But God, through His Spirit, enabled Saul to rise to the occasion. In chapter 11, we see Saul boldly leading the Israelites to victory against the Ammonites. This success demonstrated that God strengthens and empowers those who trust Him. However, Saul also had to rely on God continually, as his strength came from above, not within himself. This story encourages us to tackle challenges knowing God equips us for His purposes.
