So they asked the Lord, “Where is he?”
And the Lord replied, “He is hiding among the baggage.”
Samuel was about to anoint Saul as king over Israel, but he was hiding. Was Saul displaying humility here? Did he feel unworthy to be king? Was he afraid of the responsibility? Perhaps all of them.
Being humble and shouldering responsibility are not mutually exclusive. Our responsibilities are truly God-given, and should cause us to lean hard on Him.
