If Not…

Who is teenage David to stand before Goliath?
Get married to a princess or even become King...
How could he have torn a Lion apart…?
Or defeated a big bad Bear

 

It is obvious he can’t lay claim on his success

It's not humanly possible to attain all he did
In Fact, if not for God…
Who will hear of him?
 
I suspect David’s mother was absent
He was a last born that was not a favourite
His father also didn’t think much of him
Jesse didn’t even present him to Samuel
 
Either he didn’t remember him as a son
Or he didn’t think his presence was relevant
Even at home he got the more demeaning jobs
Taking care of animals is a nomadic chore
 
It’s often assigned to hired hands not sons
Looking at his life, he must have had it very rough
But while no one wasted a thought on him
God found in him a heart seeking for Him
 
So while he got no love or respect from many
He didn’t seat and lament his disadvantage
He turned rejection to pursuit of intimacy with God
He soon found out; God loves him
 
He was valuable to the Creator
This assured him of a better future; he can be great
With a positive look to life, he replaced despair…
With faith, confidence and believe
 
And by His God; He became a great reference
Turn adversity to opportunity; despair to greatness 

People who know their God shall be strong 

And carry out great exploits. Daniel 11:32
 
Lord, you have brought light to my life; my God, you light up my darkness Psalm 18:25 …tejuwrite…
