Few men or women have been put in leadership with less experience than Saul, yet his promotion was clearly endorsed by God. He was anointed with oil and carefully prepared by Samuel. A prophetic word, a  promise, was given and soon fulfilled of a powerful experience with the Holy Spirit. In addition, God gave Saul a new heart (10:1-9). Saul quickly adapted to his new position of power but never accepted its boundaries. 

Sometimes the test of success is more difficult than the test of failure. It is easy to blame one’s failure on others but claim one’s success as his own. Leadership with its influence create opportunity; how one handles that opportunity will determine his destiny.
