CHOSEN AND ANOINTED – ANGLICAN DEVOTIONAL

READ: 1 Samuel 16: 1-13 (NKJV)

1. Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”
2. 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.’
3. “Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you.”
4. So Samuel did what the LORD said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, “Do you come peaceably?”
5. And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.
6. So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the LORD’s anointed [is] before Him.”
7. But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For [the] [Lord does] not [see] as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
8. So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the LORD chosen this one.”
9. Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the LORD chosen this one.”
10. Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.”
11. And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.”
12. So he sent and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him; for this [is] the one!”
13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

THE MESSAGE:

The Lord had rejected Saul from reigning over Israel and instructed Samuel to go to Bethlehem and anoint one of Jesse’s sons as King over Israel. Samuel complained about his fears should Saul hear of it but God gave him a strategy to adopt to allay his fears. During SamueI’s interaction with Jesse and his sons, Samuel nearly thought of anointing Eliab, but God cautioned him. The available seven sons of Jesse were rejected by God for the new position. David had to be recalled from where he was keeping the sheep to the house. On his arrival, God confirmed to Samuel that he was the one chosen and he anointed him as Israel’s new King, and the spirit of the Lord came upon David.

When God sends you on a mission, you should not fear because He is all-knowing. 2 Timothy 1: 7 says that God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, love and self-control. Obeying God’s instruction is always the best thing to do. Samuel obeyed and being led and guided by God, he could identify and anoint the one chosen by God. As you work for God, one day, He will remember you. Just be a faithful Christian and your promotion will be announced soon!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, please grant me grace to walk and work humbly with You always.
