God puts people in charge of things - 1 Samuel 6-10

If God is in charge of all things why did He give me an idiot for a boss? That question is a chapter in a new book I am writing entitled, "It's Sunday but Mondays Coming." The concept of the book is that we have great doctrines we teach on Sunday and yet, when we get to work on Monday, we seem to forget it. We believe that God is in charge of all leadership. In Psalm 75:7 it says He (God) puts one up and takes another down in regard to leadership. Our story here in 1 Samuel 6-10 is that the nation of Israel wanted a king so God gave them one. He gave them Saul. God actually had Saul's donkeys get lost so that when Saul went to look for them he would run into Samuel, who God had previously told about the king thing. God used the donkeys to get Saul where He wanted Saul to be!! Later in the book of 1 and 2 Samuel everyone will wish they didn't have Saul as a king. God warned them about that in 10:10-18. But, the truth to learn here is not the type of king God provided but that God is in control of the details that put one leader in place and take another leader out of place. If we believe on Sunday that God is in complete control than we have to believe our boss is who God put there on Monday. God is in charge of every detail that keeps everyone in the positions He wants for how long He wants. Elections may be our way of getting people into offices but it is really just God moving the donkeys around.
