—1 Samuel 16:14-23
by: Paula Davis.
David had been anointed by God to be the next king of Israel, and yet he is summoned by King Saul to be his servant. A servant? David could have put up a fuss and refused to go to Saul, but he did not. I believe David looked at this as an opportunity to serve the Lord, not Saul. Sometimes God requires his leaders to humble themselves and serve others in order to fulfill his plans. We need to be open to every position the Lord wants to put us in whether or not we think it is“below” us.
