“I Will Show You What To Do…”
“I Will Show You What To Do…”
Blessings folk!
The Lord told Samuel to get up…quit grieving…go anoint My next king.
Samuel was concerned about his safety.
He knew the dangers.
1Sa 16:1-5
Now the LORD said to Samuel,
“How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel?
Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite,
for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons.”
But Samuel said,
“How can I go? When Saul hears of it, he will kill me.”
And the LORD said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’
“You shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do;
and you shall anoint for Me the one whom I designate to you.”
So Samuel did what the LORD said, and came to Bethlehem.
And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, “Do you come in peace?”
He said, “In peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.
Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.”
He also consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
The Lord provided a plan for Samuel.
Take a heifer.
Sacrifice unto me.
Invite Jesse to the sacrifice.
Then the Lord said this…”and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one whom I designate to you.”
Samuel went and did as the Lord instructed.
Samuel knew what the Lord had told him to do.
Samuel knew the Lord would tell him what to do.
Do we?
Do we do as the Lord instructs?
Do we trust He will show us what to do?
When Samuel arrived in Bethlehem the elders were frightened.
Had Samuel come in peace?
He had.
He came to sacrifice.
He also came to anoint.
The Lord has done likewise for us.
He came as The Sacrifice.
He now desires to anoint us to His praise, glory and honor.
He will show us what to do.
