Relegated? Missed? (Part II)
1 Samuel 16: 5-10
"Samuel said, “I have come in peace to give a gift to the Lord. Make yourselves holy and come with me as I give the gift.” He set apart Jesse and his sons also, and asked them to come to the gift-giving. When they had come, Samuel looked at Eliab and thought, “For sure he is the Lord’s chosen one who is standing before Him.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at the way he looks on the outside or how tall he is, because I have not chosen him. For the Lord does not look at the things man looks at. A man looks at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one.” Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one.” Jesse made seven of his sons pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.”"

1. God created you blessed: "Good will come to you in the city, and good will come to you in the country. Good will come to your children, and the fruit of your ground, and the young of your animals. Your cattle and flock will have many young ones. Good will come to your basket and your bread pan. Good will come to you when you come in, and when you go out. “The Lord will cause you to win the battles against those who fight against you. They will come against you one way, and run away from you seven ways. The Lord will send good upon you in your store-houses and in all your work. He will bring good to you in the land the Lord your God gives you. The Lord will make you a holy nation to Himself, as He promised you. But you must keep the Laws of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all the nations of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord and they will be afraid of you. The Lord will give much to you. He will give you many children, and many young ones among your animals, and much food from the ground, in the land the Lord promised to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open for you His good store-house, the heavens. He will give rain to your land at the right time. He will bring good to all the work you do. You will give to many nations. But you will not use anything that belongs to them. The Lord will make you the head and not the tail. If you listen to the Laws of the Lord your God which I tell you today and be careful to obey them, you will only be above and not below. Do not turn aside from any of the words I tell you today, to the right or to the left. Do not follow other gods and work for them." (Deuteronomy 28: 3-14) ... If you do not depart from the ordinances that God has spoken to you through His blessed Word!
2. God will use you: "Christian brothers, think who you were when the Lord called you. Not many of you were wise or powerful or born into the family of leaders of a country. But God has chosen what the world calls foolish to shame the wise. He has chosen what the world calls weak to shame what is strong. God has chosen what is weak and foolish of the world, what is hated and not known, to destroy the things the world trusts in. In that way, no man can be proud as he stands before God." (1 Corinthians 1: 26-29) ... Would you believe That God created you in His image and likeness to be a hindrance? God will use you!
3. God has a good vision: "Samuel said, “I have come in peace to give a gift to the Lord. Make yourselves holy and come with me as I give the gift.” He set apart Jesse and his sons also, and asked them to come to the gift-giving. 6 When they had come, Samuel looked at Eliab and thought, “For sure he is the Lord’s chosen one who is standing before Him.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at the way he looks on the outside or how tall he is, because I have not chosen him. For the Lord does not look at the things man looks at. A man looks at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart.”" (1 Samuel 16: 5-7) ... Peaceful, God is never wrong and what He said He would do to you, He will do it!
But what if those who have despised you do not call you when the Lord comes?
"Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the children?” And Jesse said, “There is yet the youngest one. See, he is taking care of the sheep.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send for him. We will not sit down until he comes here.”" (1 Samuel 16:11)
Calm down, if no one sends you to look for you ... God will never sit at the table until you do not arrive!
Remember, you were thought, you were created, you are healed, you are restored, you are valuable and you are too useful in the hands of the Lord!
Quiet that although now it seems that you are on the bench, God knows the potential that deposited in you ... Do you believe?
God bless you and have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
