TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
1 Samuel 16:1 - 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 provided for myself a king among his sons.” (ESV)
1 Samuel 16:6–7 - When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.” [7] But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” (ESV)
1 Samuel 16:12–13 - And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” [13] Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah. (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey, my friends, welcome back to the Morning Myset. I hope you're ready to get your minds aligned with the truth of God's word as we continue our series, God's story. We're in chapter 23. We're going to be talking today about God's anointed king. |
| 0:20.6 | Before we get there, though, I'm going to remind you |
| 0:22.6 | the morning mindset is a listener-fueled project. If you are willing and able and prayerfully, |
| 0:29.7 | able to consider supporting the morning mindset on a monthly basis, we have partners who do so. |

| 0:39.6 | Thanks, friends. |
| 0:40.6 | Now, before we dig into First Samuel, chapter 16, we're going to be looking at three different sections in the chapter. |
| 0:46.4 | I want to invite you to pray with me. |
| 0:49.2 | Our Father, we are grateful for your word, grateful that we can kind of follow the path of history and see |
| 0:56.5 | what you've been doing in the world. We ask you to guide us and help us understand what you |
| 0:59.7 | are about in 1 Samuel chapter 16. As we look at this issue of your anointed king, we ask it |
| 1:06.6 | in Jesus' name. Amen. Okay, friends, if you've been following along, God's people chose to have a king for themselves. |
| 1:16.6 | And God relented, God allowed them a king, even after warning them. |
| 1:20.5 | And their first king, Saul, let's just say it was a disaster. |
| 1:24.8 | He became proud, he became arrogant, he became disobedient to the Lord, and he led the nation in the wrong direction. |
| 1:31.3 | So God is taking things into his own hands to find a king for himself, who is the kind of king he wants. |
| 1:38.0 | And we pick up in 1st Samuel 16.1, the Lord said to Samuel, how long will you grieve over Saul, since I've rejected him from |
| 1:45.5 | being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse, the Bethlehemite, |
| 1:52.2 | for I've provided for myself a king among his sons. Skipping down to verse six, when they came, |
| 1:58.3 | he looked at Eliab and thought, surely the Lord's anointed is before |
| 2:01.7 | him, but the Lord said to Samuel, do not look on his appearance or on the height of his |
| 2:07.4 | stature, because I have rejected him, for the Lord sees not as man sees. Man looks on the outward |
