Be God Directed! Just Do What God Says! 1 Samuel 15

Because Self-Directed People Will Never Kill Goliath!

Goliath – A Pagan Philistine Champion Warrior

“This Day the Lord will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will five the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that the Lord does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the Lords and He will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:46

David – A God Directed Shepherd Boy Headed to the Throne!

Acts 13:22 After He had removed Saul, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, A Man After My Heart, who will do all My will.

God Directed People are Born Again Believers in Christ who are committed to the Heart of God to Always do What God Asks them to Do!

King Saul – A Self-Directed, Spiritless King.

Self Directed People will never defeat Goliath. They will never be committed to the whole counsel and will of God.
