Went through all seven.
Finally, Samuel asked Jesse, do you have any more sons?
Jesse said, yes, I have my youngest son, David.
He's out in the shepherd's fields, but I know it's not him.
He's not strong and impressive like these other sons.
They serve in the military.
They're skillful.
David, not so much.
He's okay at taking care of a few sheep, but not much more.
He discounted David, saw him as insignificant, didn't even bother inviting him in.
Just because people leave you out doesn't mean God leaves you out.
People may overlook you.
They may judge you by the outside, your height, your weight, your skin color.
God looks on the inside.
The good news is God has the final say.
Promotion doesn't come from people.
It comes from the Lord.
People may bypass you.
They may not give you the time of day, but they cannot stop what God has ordained for you.
