1 Samuel 15:33, 16:1 NIV
Today’s message takes a different turn, as we see how Samuel mourned Saul's rejection by God and how his actions show our attitude sometimes when things do not go as they ought to.
God had to call Samuel to stop his mourning and take on the next instruction. Samuel was still saddened, perhaps also because he would have lost integrity in the sight of the Israelites since he was the one who anointed Saul as king when God asked him to.
We may go through similar situations like Samuel did where things don’t turn out as expected—people or plans fail, like in the case of Saul. But let’s not continue to dwell on mourning closed chapters; let us look to God and follow His instructions. As we see, God had already chosen a replacement for Saul—David, to rectify the situation.
𝙅𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 is a short clip intended to grow and equip us in our trust walk with God. The current focus is on life's seasons. Life is in seasons - so it is important that we lean in and learn from the Holy Spirit. I am grateful that every episode is inspired by the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to learn with me.
