In 1992, a man’s search for a lost hammer led him to find the largest cache of Roman treasure ever found in Britain.
On November 16, 1992, an elderly British man named Eric Lawes set off for a friend’s farm in Hoxne village, Suffolk to find a hammer he had previously lost on the farmland. He had with him a metal detector he had received as a retirement gift.
When he got to the field and began searching for the hammer, he found that the metal detector began to pick up a strong signal at a particular spot in the earth. This led Lawes to start digging at the spot. As he dug, to his greatest surprise he discovered a stash of hidden gold treasures.
After he brought up a few shovelfuls of silver spoons and gold coins, Lawes decided to quickly call the police and the local archaeological society. The very next day, the archaeologists began excavations on the farmland. By the time everything had been brought up from the ground, the archaeologists had nearly 60 pounds of gold and silver objects, including 15,234 Roman coins, dozens of silver spoons and 200 gold objects. It would become the largest treasure hoard ever found in Britain. These treasures had been hidden in that land since the 5th century.
For finding the gold, Lawes received £1.75 million from the British government, which he split with the owner of the farmland on where the treasure was uncovered. Lawres also later found the hammer, which he had been originally looking for.

In I Samuel 9 Saul the son of Kish set off to look for his father’s missing donkeys. But he had no idea that God had planned for him to find far more than the donkeys, he ended up finding the throne and kingship of Israel. It was all a divine setup to bring Saul to Samuel, that he might be anointed as King over Israel.
Indeed it is amazing how God could use the mundane details of a quest for lost donkeys to work out His divine decree of leadership and deliverance for His people.
God will often use circumstances in our lives the same way. This is why in everything we should always give Him thanks.
No matter what you may seem to have lost this year, keep giving praise to God, trusting that He is working behind the scenes to restore to you far more than you could ever imagine..
While the loss of the donkeys was frustrating to Saul, yet, unknown to him, God was working out a higher purpose and moving him into greater things. Likewise, God has a plan and a purpose for you right where you are now. As you align to His Word and obey His guidance, you will be amazed at the treasures you will eventually find.

Psalm 37:23 says “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.”

All the events that led to Saul eventually meeting Samuel were not coincidences, rather they were divine providence.
When we are guided by God, we experience divinely orchestrated fulfillment of His Words in our lives.
This is why Proverbs 3:5-6 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

Saul’s story should remind us that sometimes even in ordinary circumstances God has an extraordinary goal in mind. We need to look beyond the obstacles and look for the miracles.

Today, you may have concluded that this year will end in an ordinary way for you. However, if you will choose to deliberately be guided by the Spirit of God in every step, you will be amazed at the wonders you will find.
It is our season of 11th hour miracles. As you continue to bless and praise God in every circumstance, He will exceed every expectation and do far more than you could ever ask, think or imagine.
Certainly, you will not end the year in defeat, but rather you will end it in resounding victory because you serve the God of awesome wonders!

PRAYER: Lord, I praise You for the great and miraculous things You are about to do in my life in this last month. I know that what may seem impossible to men is totally possible with You. Thank You Lord, for indeed exceeding my every expectation in Jesus Name.
