I've been reading an awesome book on the life of David. It's so amazing that God uses the stories of people that lived thousands of years ago to inspire us today! David was just an ordinary kid. Nothing about his appearance, job, or family position ( he was the youngest of seven sons), screamed, "I'm the next king of Israel!" He was a shepherd, who watched his father's sheep. Insignificant to his father Jesse except for the job that he did. In fact, when the prophet Samuel went to David's father's house and asked to see his sons, Jesse forgot about David! When it was clear to Samuel that God had refused the older sons to be anointed as the future king, he asked if there were anymore sons of Jesse. "Well, there is the youngest boy, David, who's in the fields watching the sheep." That was Him! That was God's anointed! Isn't that just like God? To choose someone who is no one. To use the forgotten, but the faithful. While King Saul was being disobedient, defiant, and selfish, God was raising up a man after His own heart. One that nobody knew or cared about. One that would stand up to a giant when everyone else ran in fear, and who would trust in the Lord no matter what. God knew where David was and He knew when and how He would use him. I pray that we will be faithful in the little things, like tending the sheep. Because you never know when God will move us to the front lines to slay a giant! Be ready, be humble, and be content. You are where you are for a reason maybe no one but God knows.
