Samuel Annoints David (1 Samuel 16:1-13)

What is Samuel's mission? Since God had rejected Saul as the king over Israel, God asked Samuel to appoint one of the son's of Jesse of Bethlehem whom God has chosen.

Describe Samuel's response when he saw David's brother, Eliab. He was in awe because he realized that when he arrived, he knew for sure that the Lord's annointed stands before the Lord.

In a few words, what did God say to Samuel? God told Samuel not to be distracted by his appearance or his height, because the Lord has rejected him. God does not look at what man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.

Acts 13:22
Why did God choose David to be king? Because God found David son of Jesse as a man after His own heart and he will do everything I want him to do.

God's message to our heart:

God's message to our heart states that He looks at the heart unlike man which looks at outward appearance. He wants us to be willing to be a man after His own heart and to do everything He wants us to do.
