Truth Exposed:   David #2

1 Samuel 16 tells us of the anointing of David as king of Israel.  The people of Israel cried for a “king like other nations,” 1 Samuel 8:5, so God gave them their request.  Later he regrated it, 1 Samuel 15:11.  There are 2 verses in 1 Samuel 16 that amaze me:  verses 1 & 3.   God chose David to be HIS king, not the peoples.  God wanted a man who loved him, and nothing else, 1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22.  What God wants will never be taken over by what man wants.  God always wins.
