Join us at our Logan Church as we continue with our current series titled, “The Champion Generation”. This week Pastor Henry helps us to reflect on the story of David’s anointing as king. We can often have a tendency to look at the outward appearance while the Lord looks at the heart. But we are encouraged to move beyond grief over past failures, lay down hurtful words spoken over us, and view others through God’s loving perspective. Remember that God sees your heart, values your quiet obedience, and actively seeks out those who feel overlooked.
Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.”And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah. – 1 Samuel 11-13 (ESV)
