A
reminder for today
So
Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And
the LORD said, "This is the one; anoint him." So as David stood there
among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and
anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon
David from that day on. Then Samuel returned to Ramah. (1 Samuel 16:12-13)
You just have to love this moment. David, the youngest
and smallest brother, not even at home for Samuel to choose from and the one no
one would thought would be king, is the one that God chooses. I can just see
David’s surprise as he stood there among his brothers. They must all have been
stunned for a moment. Can you just see the amazing work of God in this moment:
Jesse (David’s father) was the son of Obed who was the son of Ruth, and Samuel
was the son of Hannah, who could not have children. Here are two of God’s
miracles at one place, bringing God’s plan into action. Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David
with the oil.
My dear friend, there are those moments in life when we
are stunned by God’s work. I look at my life and I can just see them as they
fell into place bringing me to where I am now. I am in awe of the amazing work
that God does in our lives. How wonderful is this Father of us and how great is
His love. I can just feel the Holy Spirit shouting from within me to tell you
that you are so special to Him and that His plan with your life has just begun.
My dear and wonderful friend, when you look into the mirror today see how God
is anointing you as the one He is going to use to bring His plans into
position. You are so important in this great and wonderful world. Rise, son and
daughter of God for your life have just begun.
For the
sake of the world, bring out the fire in me. Light a flame in my soul for every
eye to see. (Bethel)
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
