Thought

Young David took his responsibility to care for his father’s sheep seriously—even risking his own life for them! And though he was the youngest and least important of his family, when David appeared before Samuel, the prophet could see right away that the young man had a great heart filled with courage. Samuel proclaimed God’s message that eventually David would care for God’s people—His “sheep.” In the Bible we see that God often chose to use people others might not notice—people with inward courage and faith.
