Memorize/Reflect: “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.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
Personal Reflection: How did David stay hopeful and strong when so many people did not seem to believe in him? What did he face that could have been discouraging? How can you stay hope-filled even when others are not as supportive as they should be?
Discussion: Who has been a Jonathan in your life and how has this person encouraged you and pointed out your God-given potential? How can we seek to be intentional and consistent about helping others see the good God has placed in them, like Jonathan did with David?
Prayer Direction: Pray for people you care about who are going through a difficult time. Ask for God’s provision and pray that you can find creative ways to care and support them.
“Live It!” Challenge: Commit to be a Jonathan. Take time this week to identify one or two wonderful, but hidden abilities in the life of someone close to you. Then, tell them what you see and how you believe God could develop and use these abilities for His glory.
Monthly Prayer Focus: For the next four weeks we will focus on listening prayers. Ask God, “Is there someone in my life who needs a word of encouragement or a helpful hand right now?” If God puts something on your heart, do what you can to help and encourage this person.
Extra Resources for this week: Make sure you have a copy of The Story. Also, consider buying a copy of the book, A Tale of Three Kings. This book, by Gene Edwards takes a unique and powerful look at King Saul, King David, and the short reign of King Absalom.

You can purchase this 31-week study for 40% off at the Connections Center in the Shoreline lobby. (If you can’t afford this and are going to be part of a group, please contact Romel.)
