1 Samuel 15:34-16:13; Psalm 20; 2 Corinthians 5:6-17; Mark 4:26-34

Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, ''Neither has the Lord chosen this one.'' Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, ''Neither has the Lord chosen this one.'' Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, ''The Lord has not chosen any of these.'' Samuel said to Jesse, ''Are all your sons here?'' And he said, ''There remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep.'' And Sam ...
