God's rejection of Saul as King over Israel is the beginning of the end for Saul. It is also the beginning of a long road to the throne for a young shepherd called David. God stooped down to make him great. --When Samuel was led to anoint a son of Jesse, the Bethlehemite, no one bothered with calling David because his physical appearance was no match to his brothers. How easily the world is impressed with outward appearance, but God looks on the heart---1 Samuel 16 tells two stories that result in unlikely and surprising outcomes, setting David up to be the next king of Israel. God loves to use impossible situations and unlikely circumstances to demonstrate His power and wisdom to deliver us.
