1 Samuel 16
Inspired thots
Samuel was instructed by God to search for another king for Israel as He has rejected Saul. When God rejected Saul, he was left aside and deemed 'dead'. Hence, Samuel 'mourned' for him. But God raised up David, shepherd boy, as the next king.
Samuel looked for the fine demeanor of Jesse's sons but God looked at the heart.
v7 "... the Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart."
Saul was an impressive young man taller than others by a head (9:2) but he took matters into his own hands after being king; he forgot his humble background and did as he pleased while trying to please men.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
