Full Summary and Discussion Questions

We spend much of our lives giving our hearts to things that promise security—careers, approval, success, or control. We look for something visible and strong to organize our lives, but the wrong kings always take more than they give.

1 Samuel 16 shows a different kind of King and a different kind of life. While others chase appearance and achievement, God looks at the heart. He sees the overlooked, the hidden, and the unfinished places we often ignore.

The invitation is simple: instead of striving to manage every external condition, give God your heart. Trust the King who sees you, speaks to you, and raises you up in His time. What we surrender to the right King, He restores with His presence.
