Keep preparing yourself.

1 Samuel  16:18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.

David didn't suddenly become an expert marksman with a slingshot when Goliath showed up,  or a master harpist when King  Saul invited him to the palace.

He took the long,  slow,  disciplined route. David had no idea what his future held,  he simply found joy and fulfilment in discovering and developing his gifts. 

Your greatest obstacle to personal growth isn't ignorance; it's the illusion of knowledge

It's in believing you have arrived,  when that happens,  you are done  growing.

David's brothers knew his skills,  yet none of them told King Saul about him. Be encouraged,  you will get there without them, 

Then one of Saul's servants said,  "Look,  I have seen a son of Jesse..  who is skillful in playing,  a mighty man of Valour. 

David didn't compete with his brothers  or complain about his status as a sheep herder ..

He Just  kept developing his relationship with God and sharpening his skills.  And when the time was right,   God promoted him

So keep preparing yourself, 

Keep developing your skills and gifts..

When the time is right,  God will lift you up through them.


God bless you.
