Bible Challenge: 1 Samuel 16:1-13

Posted on April 8, 2022 Posted By: Ivan Mahaguay Categories: Bible Challenge



Take Home Principle: 

I will seek the Lord’s guidance in choosing leaders, recognizing that He knows what’s best for us, and that He is sovereign over all.

Discovery Questions

  1. What was Samuel tasked by God to do in the story?
  2. How did the Lord guide Samuel? What instructions did he give leading up to the fulfillment of his task?
  3. Why was David not with his brothers when Jesse came?

Understanding Questions 

  1. Why do you think the Lord rejected Saul as King over Israel and has asked Samuel to anoint a new King?
  2. Why do you think God gave Samuel instructions the way He did, bit by bit, instead of directly naming David as his chosen king over Israel?
  3. Verse 7 states that “People look at outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”. What does this mean?

Application Questions

  1. Since what we observe is limited, and that we are easily deceived by outward appearances, what then should we do when electing people in authority, or when faced with important decisions in general?
  2. Have you really sought the Lord’s guidance in choosing our next batch of leaders, setting aside your biases based on what you have heard and seen?
  3. Do you regularly commune with the Lord with an open mind, ready to obey whatever it is he asks you to do, recognizing He is sovereign over all?
