He also made a suggestion of the right approach to addressing the situation: "...now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go." They went in search of the asses that were lost but returned with the crown of kingship. That day, a declaration was made by Samuel over Saul that changed everything about his life from the son of "Kish" to the first "King" of Israel.
The scriptures says in Deuteronomy 5:16 KJV, "Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."
Honour precipitates longevity, wellness as well as well-being.
Do you know that you have a responsibility to ensure that nothing negative should happen to your crown bearers. Should they fall while bearing your crown, it may be broken and that could be disastrous. Do not disrespect nor mo**st them because your honour is in their hands. If what is in their hands falls, it will take you some more years to recover. Remember Mephibosheth:
"And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth." 2 Samuel 4:4 KJV
While the nurse who was assigned to minister to Mephibosheth ran with him in her hands because of the news of the death of Saul and Jonathan, in the process, Mephibosheth who was supposed to be the heir apparent to the throne fell from her hands and he was crippled.
In the light of the foregoing, our prayers today should be, Lord,
1. help me to identify and recognize my crown bearers.
2. I will not disrespect my crown bearers.
3. My crown will not fall from the hands of my crown bearers.
