1 Samuel 16, Romans 14, Lamentations 1, Psalm 32

 


1 Samuel 16,

1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king."
 
2 But Samuel said, "How can I go? Saul will hear about it and kill me." The LORD said, "Take a heifer with you and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'
 
3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate."
 
4 Samuel did what the LORD said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, "Do you come in peace?"
 
5 Samuel replied, "Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me." Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
 
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD."
 
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
 
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."
 
11 So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he is tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives."
 
12 So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one."
 
13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.
 
14 Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.
 
15 Saul's attendants said to him, "See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.
 
16 Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the harp. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes upon you, and you will feel better."
 
17 So Saul said to his attendants, "Find someone who plays well and bring him to me."
 
18 One of the servants answered, " have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him."
 
19 Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, "end me your son David, who is with the sheep."
 
20 So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.
 
21 David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-earers.
 
22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, "Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him."
 
23 Whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
 

    

 


Romans 14,

1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.
 
2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
 
3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.
 
4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
 
5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.
 
6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
 
7 For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone.
 
8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
 
9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
 
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
 
11 It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.' "
 
12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
 
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.
 
14 As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
 
15 If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died.
 
16 Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil.
 
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
 
18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
 
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
 
20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
 
21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall.
 
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
 
23 But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
 

    

 

 

Lamentations 1,

1 How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave.
 
2 Bitterly she weeps at night, tears are upon her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is none to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
 
3 After affliction and harsh labor, Judah has gone into exile. She dwells among the nations; she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
 
4 The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to her appointed feasts. All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her maidens grieve, and she is in bitter anguish.
 
5 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The LORD has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe.
 
6 All the splendor has departed from the Daughter of Zion. Her princes are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled before the pursuer.
 
7 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands, there was no one to help her. Her enemies looked at her and laughed at her destruction.
 
8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans and turns away.
 
9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. "Look, O LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed."
 
10 The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw pagan nations enter her sanctuary-those you had forbidden to enter your assembly.
 
11 All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. "Look, O LORD, and consider, for I am despised."
 
12 "Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the LORD brought on me in the day of his fierce anger?
 
13 "From on high he sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.
 
14 "My sins have been bound into a yoke; by his hands they were woven together. They have come upon my neck and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has handed me over to those I cannot withstand.
 
15 "The Lord has rejected all the warriors in my midst; he has summoned an army against me to crush my young men. In his winepress the Lord has trampled the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
 
16 "This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed."
 
17 Zion stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The LORD has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
 
18 "The LORD is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look upon my suffering. My young men and maidens have gone into exile.
 
19 "I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
 
20 "See, O LORD, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.
 
21 "People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me.
 
22 "Let all their wickedness come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins. My groans are many and my heart is faint."
 

    

 


Psalm 32

1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
 
2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.
 
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
 
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Selah
 
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"-and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah
 
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him.
 
7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
 
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.
 
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.
 
10 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.
 
11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!
