Bible
GOD AT WORK
PSALM 78:70-72
He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance. And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.
God chose David. On the surface, the choice made no sense. But God doesn't work on sense; He works on grace.
Do you find God's activity as fascinating as I do? He loves us, calls us, redeems us, and uses us totally because of who He is.
Of David we might think that God called him in spite of the fact that he was a common shepherd. But the facts prove otherwise. God was working in David's life from the beginning…through the invaluable experience of keeping sheep.
EPHESIANS 2:10
We are His making, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time that we should walk in them.
THE DEEPER QUESTION:
Have you discovered the ways God has been working—all of your life—to prepare you for kingdom service? What experiences, lessons, talents, or hurts do you need to present to Him for His use?

Father, thank you for the assurance that you are always at work in my life. Help me to see that to follow you never means to throw away who you made me to be.
YOUR POWER SOURCE
1 SAMUEL 16:12-13
He sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, Rise and anoint him; he is the one.
So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power.
The Holy Spirit just can't seem to arrive without power, can He? Even in the life of this little shepherd boy, we see testimony of that power again and again.
David would go on to fell a giant and build a kingdom, but all the good that he accomplished would come from one source—the power of the Holy Spirit.
Samuel's anointing oil may have blurred David's vision when it bathed his eyes that day. But the Spirit's power would help him see things in life that he never dreamed.
ACTS 1:8
You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses.
THE DEEPER QUESTION:
You receive the Holy Spirit when you receive Christ (Rom. 8:9), but you do not automatically experience the Spirit's fullness. What specific steps can you take today to live your life controlled by the Spirit?

Lord I am amazed that you choose to share so personally this life of mine. Today I need your power. May I surrender to your leadership.
SMALL FAITHFULNESS
1 SAMUEL 16:19-21
Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.
So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul. David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers.
What should you do when God has called you but you don't know what to do next? After David was anointed by Samuel, he returned to caring for his father's sheep.
Mark this down, then, as a good principle: Keep studying God's Word and listening to His voice; but while you're listening, take care of the responsibilities He has given you.
Looking back at years of ministry, I have often seen God use that kind of small faithfulness to accomplish more than the great things of which we dream.
MATTHEW 25:23
Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.
THE DEEPER QUESTION:
In what small things are you being faithful? Can you be fulfilled if God always uses you in ways the world considers small? Why are there no large or small jobs with God?

Father, my ego calls out for recognition, but your Word says that the kingdom belongs to the meek and faithful. Teach me to be faithful in the small things that I may be worthy of whatever you give me to do.
ARTIST AND WARRIOR
1 SAMUEL 16:17-18
Saul said to his attendants, Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.
One of the servants answered, I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him.
David had the tenderness and sensitivity of an artist. He was a musician and a songwriter, whose comforting melodies truly ministered to King Saul's aching soul.
Yet we are also told he was a warrior, brave and strong. The fingers that gently plucked the strings of a harp could wind fiercely around a sling or a sword.
Tenderness and strength are not exclusive terms. You see them both in David. And in Christ. One without the other leaves an individual lacking wholeness.
2 SAMUEL 23:1
The oracle of David son of Jesse … the man anointed by the God of Jacob, Israel's singer of songs.
THE DEEPER QUESTION:
What qualities do you most value—tenderness or strength? In which direction do you lean? What can you do to develop either the sensitive or the risk-taking side of your personality?

Father, I pray that you will teach me to value tenderness and strength in all Your children, male or female, even as you teach me to rely upon your Son, the essence of all strength.

As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul's heart… . When they
