Join us at Brisbane Central as we continue with our current series, The Champion Generation. This week Pastor Neli reminds us that while humans look at outward appearance, God looks directly at the heart. We are encouraged to stop dwelling in despair, embrace God’s perspective over human approval, and remain faithful in the private, hidden places of prayer and devotion. Your anointing precedes your position, and as you stay rooted in God, He will sustain and use you right where you are to love and serve the people around you.
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)
