I suspect jealousy would not be enough to describe it. Yet it seems easy to see God blessing others and feel jealous ...why them and not me? Having said that sometimes we need to see ourselves as God sees us...loved beyond our comprehension and blessed because of our relationship with Him. God is constantly blessing us...we just need to open our eyes and see it! I wonder David\'s brothers reached that point? How must the brothers have felt? I suspect jealousy would not be enough to describe it.

It is like being called into the Head's office at school, or when I get a letter from the Tax Office, I always assume it is in some way bad. How wrong they were, and how wrong I often am; it is amazing how many times I expect stressful or unwelcome things to happen and they turn out to be wonderful things The town fathers remind me of myself, expecting bad news.

Yes please God!

BUT I also love the fact that Samuel did not go with his gut instinct, but waited til God said 'this is the one'! Oh to be able to hear as clearly as that!!
