“The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.” And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” And the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. And you shall anoint for me him whom I declare to you.” Samuel did what the Lord commanded and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling and said, “Do you come peaceably?” And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.”‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16:1-5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because the Lord says, “I have provided for myself a king among his sons.” Did David train to be a king? God says He provided a king. Was David tending sheep and setting goals to be king one day? David spent many nights alone w God and God transformed him. Can you see God’s purpose for your life? Please pray that we and our friends spend time alone with God as He prepares us for His purpose. Please pray for Hunter’s group.
