"Move On & Accept It"

[8] Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” [9] Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.” [10] Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 

1 Samuel 16:8-10 NIV

Beloved,

How many times will rejection have to come in that area, by the same person, about the same thing BEFORE you move on and accept it was NOT God’s will?

Rejection came 7xs in the same area, about the same thing and EACH TIME (the prophet) Samuel had to say, The Lord hasn't chosen this one; trying to get Jesse to accept the fact that the 7 sons he so dearly loved, may have been great men, but kings they were not!!

Don't be like Jesse. Stop putting yourself in a position where you have to be told, "No" over & over again.

Stop breaking your own heart over a dream that you wanted to come true; a dream you never bothered to take before the Lord for His approval. You just assumed it was of God because of the way things looked to you.

But you must remember, you are on the outside looking in, but God sees everything & everybody from the inside out.

Otherwise, Eliab would have been anointed the next king (out of Jesse's 7 sons). He looked the part; even had Samuel  (the prophet) fooled by his appearance. 

1 Samuel 30:6-7 NIV

Hear Me SOMEBODY:

They are not the one. That is not the place, the position, or timing of God.

Accept that it's not God's will and move on. Don't allow anger to build up inside of you until one day, "out of the blue" you explode, verbally attacking someone close to you. Over what? The rejection you're feeling right now. 

Read: 1 Samuel Chapters 16 & 17 and connect the dots between Eliab & David.

To this day, Eliab owes David an apology he will never get...

All because of rejection.

God loved him enough to not choose him and He loved you enough to not choose you, to not choose them for you, or that for you. It was your plan, but God’s decision to make according to Proverbs 16:9 CEV

Until Next Sunday.
