“When a man or woman of God fails, nothing of God fails.  When a man or woman of God changes, nothing of God changes.  When someone dies, nothing of God dies.  When our lives are altered by the unexpected, nothing of God is altered or unexpected.”  Chuck Swindoll

There are three major players in this drama:

1. Samuel.
2. God.
3. David.

Some practical applications for us to see:

1. God’s choices seem (strange) in our eyes.
2. God often chooses (the weak) to confound (the wise). 
3. Never judge (and make choices) by the (outward appearance).
