God tells Samuel to anoint one of Jesse's sons as the next king of Israel. Anointing another king while one is still ruling is rather dangerous. So God tells Samuel how to do that without making it public. The story that follows has this memorable quote: “The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Today's psalm probably ranks second in the most-memorized psalms, next to Psalm 23.
Pay attention! Paul is telling us how the process of transformation takes place whereby we are released from the ‘power of sin and death’ to live a new life!
