I Samuel 10: 6, 9
Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man.
Then it happened when he turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart; and all those signs came about on that day.
Saul had such a good beginning. It looks like, at this point, that had Saul continued to listen to this "changed heart" God gave him instead of (what is coming) giving in to popularity with the people instead of staying strong in the Lord, he could've been (see 13:13) the one the Lord gave His Throne to sit upon and rule. But he didn't. David was chosen instead.
God is never at a loss--His Plan will succeed, even if I get sidetracked. But I don't want to be turned off the path, I want to do and succeed at whatever it is God wants for me. Even though it won't be as prestigious as being in the line of the Savior and ruling from His Throne.
Come to think of it, I will rule from His Throne! But not in this time.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
