Samuel Anoints David as King

Sermon Outline

Stop mourning and start moving (vs 1-5)

• Sometimes, we have to be shaken up by God
• Sometimes fear can prevent us from moving

Choosing with your eyes? (vs 6-7)

• Our eyes deceive us. Let’s not make decisions without consulting God’s will
• Also our past and our feelings deceive us
• We look at the eyes but God looks at the heart

Choosing a heart for God (vs 8-13)

• In our current culture we don’t know how to wait, so waiting on God is very difficult
• God will do his plan is his time

Let’s Live It

• Are you actively pursuing God’s calling?
• How do you judge/how do you make decisions? By what looks good or what God says is good?
• What are you doing to actively cultivate a heart for God?
