Most of us would never say we are running from God, but Saul, chosen by God, confirmed with miracles, and given a clear charge, still hid when it was time to be crowned. When the nation assembled to make him king, they couldn’t even find him; he was hiding in the luggage. Running from God rarely looks like running. It looks like going quiet, staying busy, and hoping the moment passes. This message names that pattern with uncommon honesty and points us toward the grace that meets us right there.
