Without realizing it or not, people are noticing you and your uniqueness. This is so important that you know this because it can work for or against you. As a powerful example, we can see this in the life of King David. Before David became known as “the giant slayer,” his father and brothers knew him only as a shepherd of sheep. However, if one digs deeper, the community where he lived and served, realized much more about him as they observed him on an ongoing basis. King Saul was being tormented and distressed, so his helpers sought out someone who was “skillful” at playing the harp. One of them brought up young David. What impressed me is what he said about him. 1 Samuel 16:18 says, “One of the servants said to Saul, “One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the Lord is with him.” Just by observing and by word of mouth, they were able to find out some pivotal things about David that eventually got him to become King Saul’s armor bearer. So determine today to make sure that all that your do, do it with all of your heart and mind. You never know who is watching, and you never know where ti can take you!
1 Samuel 16:22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse asking, “Please let David remain in my service, for I am very pleased with him.”
