When God Goes After A Man

After the seven sons of Jesse had passed before Samuel and all had been rejected, Samuel found out that there was another son.

He is the youngest and is said to be with the sheep.

He is so insignificant within the family that he is not even summoned with the other boys, but he is left out.

When his father mentions him, he is not even called by his name; he is simply called “the youngest.”

When he walks in, God tells Samuel to anoint this one, for this is him! The one rejected and passed over by the others is the one the Lord picked!

We must be careful how we assess those around us. God often passes over the ones others choose and calls those we would never have imagined.

When God pursued a man after His Own heart, He did not go to the palaces, temples, or places of influence, wealth, and power. God picked the most unlikely person in the most unlikely of places.

The key to being used by Him is having the right kind of heart!
