Anointing
Below: Anointing of Saul–1 Samuel 12
Above: Anointing of David– II Samuel 2:4
The OT and NT have been exploring the theme, “We Want a King,” by looking at scriptures from 1st and 2nd Samuel and 1st and 2nd Kings. Check out these pictures above. Is anointing like being called or set apart? What do you think? Can you relate either of these pictures and scriptures to other examples of call, anointing, or being chosen by God? Choose an example of another call from scripture and note any similarities between your choice and one of these anointments of either Saul or David. Post your findings as a comment to this post on Mr. Linney’s website.

Yes being annointed means that you are being set apart because God has told someone to annoint you. So God has a special plan for you different from the people around you. For instance, in the picture of David being annointed, after that part of his life God made him king of God’s people.
