Last week as we began our bible study series, Chase, we took a look at 1 Samuel 16: 1-13 which is the anointing of King David. “And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward ” (1 Samuel 16:13). This single fact would go on to define every moment of the rest of this man’s life, every psalm he would write and every obstacle he would overcome. What did it mean for David that the Spirit of God was on him? We focused on what this meant for David's identity and ours. Identity is found in the distinct characteristics that set us apart or give us worth.
This week we moved forward to 1 Samuel 17: 1 -51. We looked at the courage David's faith gave him as he stood against Goliath. We all face lions, tigers, and bears... oh my! in our lives and we talked about how God gives us strength to overcome any of life's giants. What in this world do we have to fear if we have God with us. Read through this psalm and consider what David believed his God could do, Psalm 27.
Project 1 for week 2
Consider these three verses before answering the questions that follow:
1 Samuel 16:13
2 Timothy 1:7
Acts 1:8
Compare the power given to David with the power given to those who believe in Christ. Why do we limit the Holy Spirit’s voice and power in our lives?
Prayer: That God may strengthen you where you are and give you courage so that we may glorify Him in Jesus name, Amen.
