Good to be King
A question to consider when is it to be a superpower and it is non sizable? Answer when the people hose the individual, scarce matinee idol has chosen soulfulness else. Consider the time of Samuel when Israel desired a King. The settle of Israel where no longer effective and Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. (Judges 21 ebb ESP.) Then all the elders gathered to outsmarther and came to Samuel at Ra human and verbalize to him Appoint for us a king to hazard us homogeneous the other nations. (1 Samuel 84-5) paragon comforted Samuel by assuring him that it was non him, notwithstanding paragon that they where rejecting.God therefore allowed Samuel to anoint the peoples choice in Saul of the race of Benjamin. The people liked Saul, for he as tall and handsome. Basically, he looked good on the outside. Im not sure, but I think the phrase Dont judge a book by the cover may acquit applied to this situation. In Sails date with the Philistines, chapter 13 of 1 Samu el, Sails army was heavily outnumbered and in retreat. while growing impatient waiting for Gods prophet Samuel, Saul decided himself to broaden a burnt offering.This event was the final prideful character blur of Saul, and Samuel pronounced, although the Lord would have established Sails kingdom over Israel, but instead his kingdom shall not continue. God said to Samuel L regret that have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not performed My commandments (1 Sam. 151 la) Thus, the search for the next King the individual for someone with Gods own core group had begun. The Lord leads Samuel to Bethlehem and to the house of Jesse, give-and-take of Bed, grandson to Boas.Jesse brings forth his oldest son Elba, who most likely was tall and good looking like Saul. Samuel likes Elba, but is corrected by God, who says The Lord sees not as man sees man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart (1 Sam. 1 6 7) Jesse mutinous to bring for th all of his sons, until the youngest, who needs to be retrieved from the sheep fields, and only then is Samuel convinced that he has found Gods chosen one. David the sheepherder boy is brought forward, anointed with oil, filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaimed, that he is Israels next dependable King.Davits first public appearance and confirmation of his ordination is found in the Valley of Ella with the Philistines champion named whale. To this very day, all things very large argon labeled Goliath. After 40 days of what we call looking glass talking against Saul, his army and the very God hey serve, David steps up and accepts Goliath challenge. After shedding any form Of current modern battle fatigues, David with his staff and five unflustered stones from the brook, one stone for Goliath and iv for anyone else who dared to came after.This amazing show of courage, by the way, is the kind of King Israel needs and fits the bargain God had stated before. After seeing what wa s sent forth, Goliath laughs again, however David proceeds to verbally rebuke Goliath and proclaims the truth about the God of Israel being real and powerful. The Bible says that David used one stone and it sank into his hilltop (1 Samuel 17ebb). I personally witnessed a baseball game player get blast in the head during a high school baseball game, apt(p) it was only 70 MPH, and the individual was u nefariousnessg a correct helmet, but I accept they suffered a concussion none the less.Goliath was killed with this smooth stone that penetrated through his military issued helmet. I also personally believe that if David shot the stone in the other direction, it still would have hit its target because it was Holy Spirit filled and on mission from God to show the world, especially those in Israel, whom God has anointed to be King and that no one gets away with fighting against Israel. Davits obedience to Gods commandments along with his devotion and heart for God not only establish ed a great monarchy for Israel but an example for all other nations as well.And even though Davits sin with Batches and very poor parental skills (I. E. , with Abyssal) are recorded for our learning, the New will scripture mentions David in the Hall of Faith as a corroboratory role model Through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises Made surd out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. (Hebrews 1 133-34) The next king following Davits death as his son Solomon who was granted an understanding mind to govern the people.
