1 Samuel • 2004
Written By Chris Suits
The coming of Moses resulted in a great outpouring of Scripture, of history, prophecy, worship, and law. There is nothing to equal that until the coming of David four hundred years later. Then comes another great outpouring of Scripture in worship, prophecy, and personal experience in the Spirit found in the Psalms.
But how does the history of David begin? That which results in prophets, kings, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit begins with a barren woman. God’s personal dealing with her makes her a woman after His own heart, to raise up a prophet after His own heart, to anoint a king of Israel after God’s own heart.
As we study 1 Samuel we learn principles by which we also become men and women after God’s own heart.
