1SAMUEL 17:
God
told Samuel to anoint one of Jesse's sons as the next king of
Israel. Anointing another king while one is still ruling is rather
dangerous. So God told Samuel how to do that without making it
public. That story included this memorable quote: “The LORD doesn’t
see things the way you see them. People judge by outward
appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
PSALM 101:
This
psalm tells the aspirations of a great king.
Re-reading ROMANS 6:
Pay
attention! Paul is telling us the keys to how the process of
transformation takes place whereby we are released from the ‘power
of sin’ and ‘death’ to live a new life!
