Another Heart (2)



1Samuel 10:1, 6, 9
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?... And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man… And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

Now, it was so that after Saul was anointed, God gave him another heart. A heart from God must certainly be for God. A heart for God must certainly love God. A heart that loves God must certainly dwell on God. Saul received another heart from God. This heart was filled with love and mercy for God’s people. It had reverence for God and his servant Samuel, the man of God.

While Saul had received another heart from God he needed to so preciously guard this heart and ensure that it remained connected to Source. As Proverbs puts it:

Proverbs 4: 23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
