  • Bible Red Thread 8: A Leader After God’s Heart (1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel 7) : Beyond a leader's abilities, the most decisive factor to consider is the attitude of the leader. Generally, when the leader departs from God, the people do the same; and conversely, when the leader is submitted to God, the people respect the covenant he has made with God. However, even good leaders have weaknesses.
  • BBE summary for : 1 Samuel 16

    Summary: In 1 Samuel chapter 16, God instructs the prophet Samuel to anoint a new king to replace Saul, as Saul has been rejected for his disobedience. God directs Samuel to Jesse of Bethlehem, stating that He has chosen one of Jesse’s sons. Upon arriving, Samuel initially assumes Eliab, the eldest son, is the chosen one, but God reminds him that He looks at the heart, not outward appearances. Eventually, David, the youngest and a shepherd, is anointed by Samuel, symbolizing God's choice and the beginning of David’s rise to prominence. This chapter highlights themes of divine sovereignty and the importance of inner character over physical attributes. It also introduces David as a central figure in Israel’s history, foreshadowing his future role as king. The message reinforces the concept that God's plans often defy human expectations and that true leadership is determined by one's faith and heart towards God.
