had ' provided for. the - neoDle (ch

chciee:(l'Sam.12:13; David, was a

In chanter 1 &1 4 He shows
hint that-He has sought out and ap-
A pointed this king. In the first verse
or tniff cnapter He tells" Samuel that
this king-is a son of Jesse, but not
until the twelfth verse does He point
out which son of Jesse.- Hundreds of
years, before It had been prophesied
that the sceptre should fall to Judah
(Gen; 49:10).; Samuel, for all his ex
cellencies of .-character, was human
and fallible.- Like so' many others In
the Bible"' (Ex. 3:11; 4 : 1-10; Jen
1:5, 6) and out of the Bible, to whom
God has said TGo,", he hesitated to
undertake the work- for . which God
had commissioned . him far- fear- of
the consequences (r. 2). When God
says. . "Go," we ought not to reply,
"How . can I?" but to start and go,
and leave God to settle the "how."
"It Saul hear It, he wiU kill : me."
"The fear of raan" brought "a snare"
to Samuel In this - Instance (Pro v.
z:25). And how foolish that fear
was.; 'How could Saul or anybody else
kill a man who had a" work to do for
God? Did the : Lord bid Samuel to
tell a lie to-secure hia safetyr.(vs: 2,
3). Not at all;-the Lord Is never put
to such straits as that; "and it-augura
a lack of faith In God when we resort
to falsehood or indirection to. secure
our ends. God simply refused ; to
argue with Samuel the. question of
hls-golng, and again bids him go, and
tells him what to say and that at the
proper . time He will Ishow hiin what
19 do. vWhat Samuel was hidden to
tell was the exact truth as far as it
arent-c -We are under obligations to
telLthe exact" truth, even to our ene-r
mies, if wo ten anything," but we are
not. under. .dbIlgation-to - tell all we
know. - This1 Is the. way in -which God
frequently guides- His - servants a
step at u ii fae. Notice how each atep
Is mar ice J out by the -phrase, -"the
Lord said' verses 1 2,7.12). Are
we also taking each -step, according to
the word of the Lord? ' It is blessed
to walk this, wayi;-feWe;;too; can' go
on knowing hat -the Lord will show
us what w e shall do: day by day, hour
by hour, and moment by - moment.
Samuel was allowed no discretion
whatever ,. in the. matter (v. 3 ); . He
was simply-to listen to the voice of
the: Lord, and . anoint' the , one He
named- Davld was ; wholly God's
choice. Note A the : difference r In the
language about the- anointing from
that about- the anointing of, Saul (ch.
?J?)'.'-Anotatc.ttiatj'Me.GodBays
about Da vidj. "Anoint to be princa
over My people He Says about Saul.
Samuel'3 hesiUtton a'bou doing the
Lord's will., was not of long .duration.
He lays aside; his fears and his regrets
over Sal's disposal and goes and does
as he is bidden. -' Did not' Samuel's
Teadiness to obey Gcd, so often-exhibited
(comp. , verse -13 , haye some
thing to do with that power in prayer
for which he became famous (l John
3:22? . "He looked on Eliab, and
said, snrely the Lord's anointed is be
fore him." But he:did not act upoh
his natural judgment, but waited 'for
the voice ; of. the Lord and. that soon
set him right. . It matters little how
men see us. It matters everything how
God sees us.' A pure heart 15s all that
counts with God.- That -wins His"
-favor; (Matt.- 5 : 8). '-"Dress counts for
