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.”
It broke Samuel’s heart to realize that Saul’s reign as king was coming to an end, even though it was for the best.When God brings a season, an initiative, or a relationship to an end in our lives, it can be devastating, even if it’s for the best.
If God is currently bringing something to an end in your life, your church, or your business, consider what God said to Samuel:Fill your horn with oil and be on your way.Move on. Receive a fresh anointing and continue making progress.
You lost a staff member? Learn from it, be gracious, and be on your way.You lost your job? Adjust the family budget, draw near to God, overhaul your outlook and be on your way.Your boyfriend broke your heart? Maybe he just wasn’t worthy of you…delete his number and be on your way.
The oil of God flows freely to those who make a conscious decision to stop mourning over what God has rejected, fill up, and get moving.Be on your way today."
