Good Morning, Friends!
Yes, it's another Monday so it's time for another recap of what lingers for me in our Cover to Cover readings of the Bible. I can't tell you how reading my Bible chronologically helps give me such a better understanding. I am so blessed by reading it this way and encouraged to keep up with it by all of you who are reading along side of me. If you want to start feel free to do it with us.
This week we are in 1 Samuel. I wish I had more time to tell you what lingers, but can't since I work today. Here are just a few thoughts.
1 Samuel 15:10-11
Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel: "I am grieved that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions." Samuel was troubled, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
May the Lord never grieve for choosing me to do anything for Him.
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
I am so glad God is not obsessed with my outward appearance and only cares about my character! Say no more... I want a heart like David's!
1 Samuel 16:15-16
Saul's attendants said to him, "See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the harp. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes upon you, and you will feel better."
If this is the first time you have read my blog you probably don't know how music feeds my soul. I cannot imagine my life without it ! It can totally change my mood!
I love 1 Samuel chapter 17 and the story of David and Goliath!
I look forward to reading all of the insights you have gotten from our readings. I wish I had time to find the perfect song to go along with this post, but maybe I'll add one later. Have a great week.
Love,
Angie xoxo
Update: Thank you, Karen for helping me. This is the perfect song!

I am listening to "Come to Jesus" while I am reading this and it works wonderfully. "fly to Jesus and live." I need the reminder that our God looks at the inside. (although sometimes I think it would be better if He would look at my outside. My inside is a mess!) Have a blessed day.
love,
karen
What beautiful points from the Word of Life. I love the thought about how music consoled Saul, David's harp, perhaps angels ministering through him, saying "Come Home, Saul." Who knows but it is a sweet picture, and I'm with Karen on how God looks at the inside--wished mine were a little prettier for Him. Yours shines so beautifully through your radiant eyes for Him. Love, Annette
Beautiful thoughts Ang. I echo yours:, "May the Lord never grieve for choosing me to do anything for Him."
Angie,
Your thoughts and comments on these bible readings are so encouraging and inspiring to me! Thank you for taking the time to share each week. Like nise' said above I especially like the thought, "I pray the Lord is never grieved for choosing me."
Have a super week, I hope it is beautiful where you are!
Love ya,
Kelley
I love this song! God really is all we need...happy or sad...good day or bad...just Jesus!
Proud of you son, too! Way to go!
"Never grieved for choosing you." That won't ever happen for you are cherished, adored, and treasured beyond measure. There is something about you that I see every week that is so intriguing and I just can't even put "it" into words!
I love to hear Chris Rice sing...
and I love your heart for Jesus!
Yes, I do!
And that smile of yours with your son in the next picture is priceless.
Have a blessed week, friend!

I love music, too. And I understand what you mean about how it can change your mood. This song was beautiful. I love it when bloggers put worshipful YouTube videos on their blogs.
