1 Samuel 16:1-13
1. Contrast how people saw David and how God saw him?
The Lord said "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
1 Samuel 17:41-51
2. Why could little David be confident against Goliath?
David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. For the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."
So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
This is meant to be a blog where I penn down the further study of my daily devotion using Selwyn's material: Everyday with Jesus.
Being Real in the Psalms
July-August 2009
Anger, fear, envy, despair, shame … How many of these emotions have you experienced? And would you admit this, to others or to God?
In this issue, Selwyn looks at the so-called ‘uncomfortable psalms’, those which express deep hurt and anguish. Recognising that these psalms have been included in God’s Word, we can conclude that we need not deny we feel certain emotions.
Instead, we are called to acknowledge every emotion and be entirely open before God. It is only as we ‘become real’ with Him that we experience more of His 'realness' – freedom, peace, transformation.
