Samuel is sure he knows what God is looking for in Israel’s next king. Now that God has sent him to Jesse’s house, Samuel’s confidence grows: Don’t worry, God, it will be clear which one is the best choice. I’ll take it from here. Promising candidate after promising candidate comes...

Lord, help me slow down and see people and circumstances as you see them. Give me eyes to see and a heart to love all the people you put in my path. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

The two readings from the Hebrew scriptures focus on the life of David. In First Samuel, the prophet is sent to anoint the next king of Israel. God chooses David not because of outward appearance but because of his heart. David is not perfect, nor is his life always easy. Psalm 23 declares David’s trust in God in good times and bad times. Just as Samuel has anointed David with oil, so does the Lord anoint him. The New Testament readings both employ images of light and darkness. Ephesians instructs us to live as children of light, not darkness. In John, Jesus heals a blind man and brings him from darkness into light. Some religious leaders protest because although their physical eyes can see, their spiritual vision is darkened.
