Samuel mourns
Mourning Periods have a time limit
Mourning: grieved- having lamentations
There is a period when you are to mourn but it does have an expiration date!
Samuel loved Saul and his family but there was also anxiety about what would happen to the country.
Men only see the now situation where God knows the plans He has for their future.
Like most people, Samuel is trying to hold onto the past and how it is instead of moving forward for a better future.
Samuel is worried about the Past
Samuel is worried about Saul killing him.
If God is for you and commands you to do something, what worries should you have?
If God sends you, He will always provide a way!
Too many of us try to move forward while dragging the past.
How can we be obedient to God if we are stuck in the past?
The second king would not come from the insistence of the people but of God’s own initiative.
Samuel did as the Lord said and when he arrived at Bethlehem the elders of the city were trembling.
Bethlehem was not Samuel’s usually territory and they wanted to know if he came in peace.
When God sends you people will not see you they will see the Power of God in you!
Samuel looks at physical not spiritual
Jesse sends out his first son and Samuel thinks this is the one.
This thinking hurt Samuel when he saw Saul,
Listen to what the Lord tells Samuel in verse 7. God is telling us today the same thing.
“Do not look at his appearance” do not behold his luster, brilliance, or phenomenon.
Those that we think have it all together and outer appearance is radiant are not those who God has chosen.
Like Samuel we become to impressed with what the eyes can behold but never see the heart of the person.
Churches run out and get the best preacher they can find, the great orator who’s vernacular impresses.
God looks past the person’s outer wear and sees the inner workings!
Samuel goes through all of Jesse’s sons and finds none that are worthy to God.
You might go through multiple people before you find the one God wants you to have.
Jesse’s son
Samuel’s ideal of the perfect king that God would pick is not God’s choice.
Listen to the description of David.
Ruddy: healthy reddish glowing appearance.
beautiful eyes, and handsome.
He did not look like any king to men but to God He was the chosen one to lead His people and have the lineage of Christ come from.
When Samuel anointed David God sent His Spirit upon David mightily.
Mightily: means to rush upon, cut through, force entry.
God’s Spirit will be mightily upon the one God’s has anointed.
Application:
Mourning periods have an expiration date.
Do not stay in mourning past this date or you will miss out of God’s plan and will succumb to depression.
But, there is a period to mourn and do not leave it prematurely.
Drop the baggage of the past.
You are no longer that person or that church but God is doing a new work in you and for you.
Do not look at the outer appearance.
Do not allow yourself to get wrapped up with a great orator.
Look at the heart of the person, you can see if they are anointed by God.
Do not allow your perception be God’s perception of what you need.
Instead allow God to show you.
