eeep.. tonight got a bit ugly :S Hope everyone can get over it.. Need God to speak to everyone and clear things up! And for God to shut the mouths of those out there who are just causing trouble or sowing discord.
Day 100!
So yesterday because Saul was afraid of his soldiers, and obeyed them instead of God. He rejected the word of the LORD, and because of that, the LORD rejected him. So now a new king was required to be found, and that person was David! God brought Samuel to find David, and anointed him. Right after David was anointed, the Bible states that the Spirit of the LORD took control of David from that day forward. Before this happened, because David was the youngest, Samuel had a look at his older brothers first, and one of the explanations that God gave to Samuel for not picking one of the older brother was this: 1 Samuel 16:7
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
It's good to know that God looks at the heart, and not by physical stature. It is very easy to judge people according to their physical stature, especially when you meet a new person you would scan him physically and you would decide in your mind what sort of person he's gonna be. But God's different, He looks at the heart, and the heart is all that God is concerned about. I pray for eyes that will see what God sees, that i will look at people's hearts, and not just their physical being.
Then there was the story of David and Goliath, where David delivers food to his older brothers at the camp. What's cool was when he called Goliath and uncircumcised Philistine, and asked who he was that he should defy the armies of the living God! David knew who he was and who his God was. David knew of the great power and works that God did for Israel in the past, and he believed in them. He called the army of Israel, the army of the living God! David was very confident, and full of faith, despite the fact being the youngest boy in the family. We have to realize that we still are the army of the living God, and do armies do? They fight in wars! So we are fighting in God's army, where victory has already been guranteed!
