This morning, we continue our journey through the book of 1 Samuel, exploring chapters 16-18. These chapters introduce David, Israel’s future king, and highlight his anointing, his courageous victory over Goliath, and his early rise to prominence. Through these events, we see God’s sovereign choice of a leader after His own heart and the unfolding of His plan for Israel.
We’ll unpack key themes such as God’s criteria for leadership, the power of faith in overcoming giants, and the complexities of human relationships when God’s favor rests on someone.
Together, we’ll reflect on:
✅ David’s Anointing: God sends Samuel to anoint David as king, showing that God’s choice is based on the heart, not outward appearance (1 Samuel 16:1-13).
✅ David and Goliath: David’s faith in God empowers him to defeat the Philistine giant, Goliath, with a sling and a stone, demonstrating the power of trusting God over human strength (1 Samuel 17:1-58).
✅ David’s Relationship with Saul and Jonathan: David’s growing success leads to tension with King Saul, while a deep friendship with Jonathan begins to form, marking a significant and complex relationship in David’s life (1 Samuel 18:1-30).
These chapters remind us that God often uses unlikely people for His purposes. David’s rise from shepherd boy to national hero inspires us to trust God’s calling and face our giants with faith. At the same time, we are challenged to remain humble and faithful in both victory and adversity.
