"Samuel Anoints David"

1 Samuel 16: 1-13 

In today's Bible story, God calls Samuel to anoint a new king. God tells Samuel to go to a house with eight sons and find the next king. God chose David, the youngest brother, because he saw how much David loved God. Even though David did not look big and strong like his brothers, he had a heart for God, and God knew he would be a good leader.

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

Thank you for teaching us that you can call anyone regardless of how they look on the outside, but by who they are in their heart, serving God and others. In Jesus' name, Amen.
