And the Lord said how long will thou mourn for Saul,seeing i have rejected Him from reigning over Israel? It pops out at me that Samuel,took his duties serious,and must have loved Saul very much.In this chapter,the Lord told Samuel to go get Jessie and bring him to a sacrifice to the Lord. Jessie being from Bethlehem.Samuel believed that SAUL would kill him if he knew. Yet Samuel did as the lord commanded,and the elders in the town were afraid. Samuel made it clear that he came in peace. Samuel called Jesse and all his sons to the sacrifice.All Jessie's sons paraded in front of Samuel and the Lord accepted none.One of the sons was a big man and the Lord told Samuel this was not the new king,and not to look upon the mans stature because the Lord does not judge by the outward appearance,but upon the heart.So enter .....David the shepherd! What does this have to do with the lesson? David was a musician and a warrior.The spirit of the Lord was upon David,after being anointed by Samuel.Yet an evil Spirit came upon Saul...but David played his music,Saul was refreshed and the evil Spirit departed Saul.Much more to be studied about this,but for the time constraint i must stop here.MY PRAYER: Heaven Father help us see that worshiping you is the most important thing we can do in our lives.Its number one.We must remember the scripture in Psalm 33...concerning how to worship. By continually praising you.Amen.
