David is introduced today, well actually introduced through three different stories. I’d like to point out a couple of items regarding David. His youth seemed to hide his potential from human eyes. How often do we overlook the youth of the church? Certainly they may not have experience, but they are the future and we would do well to include them in planning and decisions. Second, we see in the event with Goliath that David relied on God, not on tools from the world. How often do we forget to rely on God?
Finally, just as a comment, as you read about David over the next few days, note the God given gift of charisma which David must have had in spades. It is noted over and over that he is loved by just about everyone he encounters and even Jonathan, who had the most to lose with his father Saul’s toppling, loves David.
Also, congratulations we are 1/3 of the way through the readings!!!!
In Christ,
Randy
