1 Samuel 16 MSG

An Application1SA 16:4 great example of faith. 1SA 16:6-7 super famous verse of the Bible, great demonstration of God's character. 1SA 16:14 great warning of one of the consequences of rejecting God. Our mind is not our castle, either we invite God to live in us or we open ourselves up to tormenters. (This is less a possibility and more a promise.) / Eliab was surely jealous of 1SA 16:13, which was at least in part inspired by his good looks. How often do we use this poor reasoning, too? Compare JER 9:23-24.

Connect the DotsThe next story will gives us a little glimpse into 1SA 16:6-7, starting with (but not limited to) 1SA 17:28. / MT 1:5-6 points out Mary's lineage through David and LK 3:31-32 points out Joseph's. / We'll continue reading about David until 1KI 2:10. / Jesse will be named 44 times in 12 books of the Bible.
