1 Samuel 16:19 God trains us so he can use us

“Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, ‘Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.’”

1 Samuel 16:19



God often trains us before we do what we are called to do. God trained Moses in the house of Pharoah so that he would later lead God’s people. Having already been in the palace opened the door for him to be able to be heard by the Pharoah. Being heard by the Pharoah opened the door for the Israelites to be let go. God had David be a shepherd boy to learn how to serve faithfully, worship Him and to be victorious in Him while he protected the sheep. He even sent David into Saul’s palace to prepare him for the future, his being king. Be encouraged. God has been training you all your life to prepare you for His call on your life, and your future as well. Just be faithful with what you are doing. He will lead you step by step. Be obedient when He asks you to do more. You’ll see later that He was preparing you for His purposes all along. This will encourage you.

Father, thank You for caring so much for each and every one of us. Thank You for training us as we grow in Christ. Just as you trained Moses and David, You’ve trained us. You prepare us for what You have called us to do. May we fulfill the call You have upon our lives. Hold our futures in the palm of Your hand. We want to hear “Well done my good and faithful servant.” In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
