Looking for Donkeys and Finding a King

In the nineteenth century, a poet and hymn writer named William Cowper wrote a hymn/poem which put an important phrase in the mind of the church. He wrote:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sovereign will
William Cowper could have been writing a commentary on 1 Samuel 9 when he penned these words. We will discover how God indeed worked in mysterious ways His wonders to perform as we learn how someone sought after donkeys and found a king.
