Scripture 

1 Samuel 15:34-16:13 (ESV)  

Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.  [35] And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but Samuel grieved over Saul. And the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel. 

[16:1] The Lord said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons."  [2] And Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." And the Lord said, "Take a heifer with you and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.'  [3] And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. And you shall anoint for me him whom I declare to you."  [4] Samuel did what the Lord commanded and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling and said, "Do you come peaceably?"  [5] And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 

[6] When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed is before him."  [7] But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."  [8] Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the Lord chosen this one."  [9] Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "Neither has the Lord chosen this one."  [10] And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The Lord has not chosen these."  [11] Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your sons here?" And he said, " There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here."  [12] And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he."  [13] Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah. 

Psalm 51:10-15 (ESV)  
    Create in me a clean heart, O God,
        and renew a right spirit within me.
    [11] Cast me not away from your presence,
        and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
    [12] Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
        and uphold me with a willing spirit.
    [13] Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
        and sinners will return to you.
    [14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
        O God of my salvation,
        and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
    [15] O Lord, open my lips,
        and my mouth will declare your praise.

Scripture for Sunday
Isaiah 40:28-31 (ESV)   

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. [29] He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. [30] Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; [31] but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

John 6:16-21 (ESV)  

[16] When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,  [17] got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.  [18] The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing.  [19] When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened.  [20] But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."  [21] Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
