YOU ARE HANDSOME! #3

In the Bible book 1 Samuel the Lord tells Samuel how to select a replacement for King Saul. He was told to look at the man’s heart, not his outward appearance. I will
remember this advice when I chose my
friends in the future.

Today, I'm sharing scriptures about David.
He even had good looks and good character
when he was a boy. He was skilled with a 
sling shot  and slayed a giant. King Saul did like him and made him an armor bearer.
He would  eventually become a mighty
king.

LIFE LESSON:



KING DAVID, HANDSOME & WISE



1 SAMUEL 16: 1, 11-12, 21-23


1 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.”

11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.”
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.” 
12 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”

21 So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.  
22 Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”  
23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand.



 
1 SAMUEL 17:42


And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking.


1 SAMUEL 18: 5, 14-16

5 So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.

14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.  
15 Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.


2 SAMUEL 5:12





So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel,
and that He had exalted His kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.



ACTS 13:21-22



21 And afterward they asked for a king; 
so God gave them Saul the son of Kish,
a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 
22  And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king,to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God.

Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
