1 Samuel 16:12-13 New Living Translation (NLT) 12 So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.” 13 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.
David was recorded as being the greatest KING of Israel, an ancestor of Jesus Christ, listed in the Hall of Faith, described by GOD as a man after His heart, he slew a lion, bear and Goliath and while his resume looks impectable....that's further from the truth. He committed adultery, he ordered arrange for the woman's husband to be murdered, he directly disobeyed God (taking a unwarranted census), and was a horrible father to his sons. May I remind you GOD said, " a man after my own heart," really and he does these things?
GOD had a purpose for David, despite his huge failures....and what was and still is amazing to me David was told of the "calling" on his life to be Israel's king while yet a boy, and had many years and trials to go through before he was ready. Many of you like the gentlemen in the pic have been anointed, and called to do something great....but don't let your failures keep you from walking into God's calling & promises for you. Maybe you have been an adulterer, or murderer or a liar or just been down right disobedient.....GOD's promises are true, and He is rich in forgiveness....will you accept His promises and forgiveness of your sins?
Here's (Hear ) God's words for you: Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
