We’re continuing to look at the life of David in 1 Samuel 17, where the Israelites have agreed to the terms & conditions of the enemy, but David does not listen to the discouragers.

As we continue to look at 1 Samuel 16, we see how David’s gifts ushered him into the fulfillment of God’s promise. Don’t neglect the gifts God has given you while you wait for the next.

In this week’s teaching from 1 Samuel, we see that God chose David even when everyone else rejected him. Our validation must come from the Lord.

This week’s teaching from James 4:14 reminds us that life is short. Our focus needs to be on eternal things.

Let’s be clear about who our real enemy is and refuse to hate our neighbors.

Meekness and strength are not mutually exclusive. Matthew 5:5 is a call to be gentle. We can only be gentle and defend those who are weaker when we are confident in who we are in Christ, and when we trust in the Lord to defend us.

This week’s teaching comes from Romans 12:2. If you want transformation in your life, you can’t just look for validation for what you already believe. May we seek information to transform us by the renewing of our mind.
