Samuel Goes To Bethlehem to Anoint David
Jesse Grandson of Boaz and Ruth
Tribe of Judah
God Chooses David
Samuels Fear
Samuel Anoints David
Samuel is Impressed
Saul was Big and Strong
1 Samuel 10:23–24 (ESV)
Then they ran and took him from there.
And when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.
And Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen?
There is none like him among all the people.”
And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
God Sees the Heart
Seven Sons
Maybe the Youngest and the Smallest
Jesus Chooses The Least of These
Samuel Anoints David
Anointed one - Messiah
So What?
God Sees the Heart
We look at the external God looks within.
We say similar things
Looks aren’t everything
Looks can be deceiving
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover
So What?
We should be careful about judging both others and ourselves when it comes to any ability to serve the kingdom of God.
If God calls, he also empowers.
The culture speaks of empowerment all the time.
Black-Empowerment, Asian-Empowermoent, Female-empowerment.
The Church needs to be at the work of raising up God-Empowered people.
This is your identity in Christ.
The is who God sees when he looks upon you.
Someone whom the Holy Spirit has empowered to do the works that God has created for you.
God Chooses Who He Wants
Why would God choose just a little Shepherd boy?
Why not the firstborn?
God often times chooses the least likely in order accomplish his greatest works.
God’s salvation has come in the form of an infant and a suffering servant.
God chooses whom he wants.
God Uses our Weaknesses
Those around David did not see his potential because of their focus
He was the last born
He was the smallest among them
He was too young
He was just a shepherd.
We must be careful when judging potential.
God often times sees potential where others only see weakness.
It is only when we become comfortable with you we truly are.
Strengths, weaknesses, faults, ugly warts, and all.
It is then that God will begin to work through those things that the world sees as problems, disabilities, or weaknesses.
God will then begin to empower you in and through those areas of your life.
The Spirit of God
The anointed one in Israel would come to be recognized in the scriptures by two initial events in their lives.
First, they would be marked in essence by the High Priest by being anointed with oil.
Second, they would receive the Spirit of God.
Often times the stories that we come to love the most in the Bible.
The stories of those that we come to call the Heroes of the Faith.
Are actually stories about the Spirit of God working within these people.
If you have placed your faith in Christ Jesus you have been anointed and empowered by the Holy Spirit no differently than David was.
This is who you are in Christ Jesus.
God the Holy Spirit now lives within you.
With the sole purpose of using you as an instrument of grace in the hands of our redeemer.
it is of the utmost importance that you see yourself like this.
Because when you do God can and will use all of you strengths and weaknesses, beauty and blemishes, your times of joy and your times of brokennes.
All of it can and will be used by his grace for his glory.
All you have to do is allow God to work in and through you.
And you will begin to see miracles every day through the weakness and brokenness of your life.
