When Samuel, directed by God went to Jesse's house to find the next king, the chosen one wasn't even in the room, where Samuel was making his decision. David's brothers all looked the part but God kept saying, "I have not chosen him." Samuel had to ask if there were any other brothers and was told that there was David looking after the sheep. He was sent for and on God's instruction he was anointed king. Here was someone who had spent hours alone with the sheep getting to know his God, but he was only a young lad, nevertheless chosen by God. Are you missing out by not recognizing that special person God has chosen in your life?
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
