Appearance

Beauty is not always beautiful. Choosing just on looks may not be the way to go. Looks can be deceiving.

Read: I Samuel 16:7 

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Lessons

One thing to know – using lessons already learned can save a lot of grief and pain.

Read: I Samuel 15:23 

23 Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft,
and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols.
So because you have rejected the command of the Lord,
he has rejected you as king.”

Obedience vs. Sacrifice

No one can bribe God.

Read: I Samuel 15:22

22 But Samuel replied,
“What is more pleasing to the Lord:
your burnt offerings and sacrifices
or your obedience to his voice?
Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice,
and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.

Protect Yourself

You are special to God and you should never try to give your goodness to the wicked.

Read: Matthew 7:6

6 “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you.

Get To The Point

Don’t be long winded with your answers nor with your questions. Get to the point.

Read: Matthew 5:37

37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.

The Way To Go

There is one reason Noah saved his family and himself. A good example for us.

He Asked

Don’t hesitate to ask for what you really want.

Read: I Chronicles 4:10

10 He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

Then Pray

Prayer is always the answer in any circumstance.

Read: Judges 16:28-30 

28 Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the Philistines for the loss of my two eyes.”29 Then Samson put his hands on the two center pillars that held up the temple. Pushing against them with both hands, 30 he prayed, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And the temple crashed down on the Philistine rulers and all the people. So he killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime.
