1 sam 16:1-13 the anointing of David as king

As a kid- everyone wanted to ‘be the leader’ they think that adult leadership is the same

You get to tell everyone what to do- but no- being the leader is RESPONSBILITY- are u ready?

So you’re going to be king and a queen! It may not feel like it- but you’re going to be!2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.1 Corinthians 6:2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?GENESIS 1:26 says have dominion Revelation 22:5 says “And they shall reign forever and ever”Revelation 3:21 says “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne”Luke 22:29-30 “ 29 And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, 30 that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”Deuteronomy 17:18-20 READ 20 that his heart may not be lifted above his brethrenDaniel 7:18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’1 Samuel 16:11 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.”As you’re preparing to be a king- there’s a few things we can get from this story that I want you to focus on . You may not feel like you’re a king or queen- but you are- God is preparing you

LETS GET INTO THIS STORY-

You are not forgotten

They are looking for the new king- 11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?”Samuel had looked at all the other brothers and was like- this al you got? Jesse the dad is like- oh yea- the young ruddy one- he’s out in the field with the sheep- but you wouldn’t want himForgotten even by his own father. His Father hadn’t even considered him for the job of kingLiving out with the sheep- its very easy to think that you have been forgottenVery easy to think that you are just going through the motions when you’re tending sheepHow many days did David wake up to go out to the field with the sheep and thought “what are my other brothers doing? This is a servants job, and here I am out there with the sheep”David may had been forgotten by his family- but he was not forgotten by God- God knew where he was, what he was doing. God knew exactly where he was. Preparing him to be KINGI don’t care who you are- but you want to feel validated and supported by your familyYou want them to be proud of you- you want them to support what you do and how you liveDavid said later in life Psalm 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take care of me.David understood- that the love of God from him and to him is the greatest satisfaction- God hasn’t forgot him. God remembered him when his own family forgot himMoses said to Joshua- Deut 31: 8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”1 Kings 15:5 because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

What does it mean to you?You may be tending the sheep in, and feel forgotten- but God has not forgot about youHe sees what you’re doing and knows where you are. It might FEEL like you’re forgotten but noMatt 10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.You are valuable. You were valuable enough for Jesus to come and ...
