5After that you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.
6Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
7When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
8And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.” 9As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass that day.Cross References

1 Samuel 10:7 Summary
This verse means that when we see God working in our lives, we should be brave and do what the situation requires, knowing that God is with us. It's like when we see a need and know that God wants us to help, we should trust in His presence and guidance, just like it says in Psalm 37:3-7, to trust in Him and do good. We can trust that God will give us the wisdom and courage we need to respond to the situation, and that He will be with us every step of the way, as promised in Matthew 28:20.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'do as the occasion demands' in 1 Samuel 10:7?
This phrase means to respond to the situation as God leads, using the gifts and abilities He has given, trusting in His presence and guidance, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6, which encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our heart.
How can we know if God is with us in a particular situation?
We can know God is with us when we are walking in obedience to His Word, as seen in Joshua 1:9, and when we have the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, as mentioned in Philippians 4:7.
What role does faith play in responding to the occasion as God leads?
Faith plays a crucial role, as it is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, according to Hebrews 11:1, and it allows us to trust in God's sovereignty and goodness, even in uncertain circumstances.
How does this verse relate to the concept of spiritual discernment?
This verse highlights the importance of spiritual discernment, as seen in 1 Corinthians 2:14-16, which enables believers to understand and respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit in various situations, trusting in God's presence and guidance.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's presence and guidance, and how can I apply the principle of 'doing as the occasion demands'?
- How can I cultivate a deeper sense of faith and trust in God's sovereignty, especially in uncertain or challenging situations?
- What are some ways I can seek to discern God's leading and respond in obedience, even when the outcome is unsure?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 10:7
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee,.... And are all fulfilled, especially the last: that thou do as occasion shall serve thee: as his circumstances would require, and as he in his
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 10:7
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:7
These signs were certain evidences of God’ s calling of him to the kingdom, because they were all future contingencies, which none but God could infallibly know or foretell. Do as occasion shall serve thee, Heb. do what thy hand findeth to do, i.e. as thou shalt have a call and opportunity. He doth not intend that he should take the kingly government upon him, before his call to it was known to and owned by the people, which had been preposterous and dangerous; but that he should dispose his mind to a readiness of undertaking any public service when necessity required it, and he should be called to his office.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:7
1 Samuel 10:7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, [that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee.Ver. 7. That thou do as occasion serve thee.] Dispone te quantum potueris ad decenter et potenter regnandum. Quit thee like a king; "deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good." "Whatever thine hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might," depending upon God for direction and success. Lyra. Regaliter age. - Jerome.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:7
(7) When these signs are come unto thee.—When these varied circumstances have happened to thee, then be sure that the splendid and glorious life which I have foretold as thy lot will assuredly lie before thee in the immediate future. I will give thee no imperious directions by which thou art to shape thy course. Go bravely on; do well and truly whatever thy hand findeth to do, being confident that God will be with thee, and that His glorious Arm shall be thy guide along that road of honour and of peril which thou art destined to travel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:7
Verse 7. Thou do as occasion serve thee] After God has shown thee all these signs that thou art under his especial guidance, fear not to undertake any thing that belongs to thy office, for God is with thee. What a number of circumstances thus precisely foretold! Does not this prove that Samuel was under the continual inspiration of the Almighty?
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 10:7
7. do as occasion serve thee] Lit. “do what thine hand shall find;” undertake boldly whatever presents itself. Cp. Judges 9:33; Ecclesiastes 9:10.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:7
7. Do as occasion serve thee — Literally, as in the margin, do for thee as thine hand shall find.
