* Luís Alberto Alves
As we read the book of 1 Samuel we find several lessons left by God. Many of us ignore it because of the rush to win blessings. However, the attentive Christian should pay attention to the details. In them God imparts important teachings.
When Samuel received the mission to go to the house of Jesse to anoint one of his sons, the seduction of the beautiful image surprised the prophet. He was fascinated by the beauty of David's brothers. He soon thought of choosing one of them to anoint.
But the Lord warned him that the anointed future was not there. That is to say, Samuel bet that the physical beauty of Eliabe and his brothers was the passport to receive the anointing sent by God. Most of the time we act this way.
How many unsuccessful marriages start like this. The man or woman gets drunk with the beauty of the future husband or wife and enters a relationship that will become a stumbling block later and end up blaming Jesus Christ for the bad choice.
