Grace for your spirit
But David said to Saul, "Your servant was tending his father's sheep, when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock. I went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he arose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him. I Samuel 17:34
David made good use of his time while he was in the fields as a boy. Little did David know what God had in store for him. As he watched over the flocks by night, he learned out to defend the sheep, play the harp, write spiritual songs, and lead the sheep. God took his talents, to stop Goliath, soothe King Saul, motivate Israel with songs, and lead his nation as king. As we twiddle our thumbs waiting for God to commission us into service, may we be using our time to prepare ourselves for a great work. What do we have on our boring agenda today? Today is not just another day for a servant of the Lord. Today is another day of preparation for the service we will be able to offer tomorrow. Let''s stop killing time, and start learning what talents we really have available to serve. Our Goliath may be just over the horizon.
