Lesson taught by Tim and notes taken by derk

1 Samuel 16

After talking about Saul's mistake from last week's lesson we move into God's plan to fix the problem

Samuel is in mourning because of Saul but God is ready to move on and start the new

Do we regret our past so much that it hinders our future?

If we spend so much time in regret the we will fail to achieve what God has for us in our future.

Interesting that Samuel goes under one purpose but really is going for a larger purpose.

The people of the town are scared of Samuel but because of his pretense of sacrifice they go along with him, yet the purpose was much grander.

Samuel is told from the beginning how to choose according to God's sight instead of man's.

1 Corinthians 1:26, 27

Thus deals with certain things that can make us feel discouraged about our abilities but it is exactly that that God wants to 'confound' the world

None of the sons were chosen.. The youngest is called for and found to be the one to be anointed king

The thing about David is that he was certainly young and small so there is no way someone would pick him to rule!

"Sometime we think that things just to little to or insignificant for God when in reality it's those things that he wants the most. We have a habit of being self sufficient as Christians when what we should be doing is relying on God in everything including the little things.


1 thessalonian 5:16-18

1 Peter 5:6-7

God cares about the small stuff - to start trying to do all that yourself only keeps God out of your life.

The spirit that overcomes Saul is even taken care of by God though it was David himself that soothed

David is the southern of Saul and in the future to come will be a soother of Israel
