Psalm 23:1
What if your greatest strength is your quiet trust? When the prophet Samuel came looking for Israel’s next king, no one expected it would be the youngest son—a shepherd boy. But God saw what others overlooked: David’s heart. While the world searches for power and presence, God delights in devotion and faithfulness. David wasn’t just keeping sheep—he was learning to trust, protect, and worship. This unseen training shaped the man after God’s own heart. In our lives, the quiet seasons aren’t wasted. When we’re tending small things with big faith, God is shaping us for more. Like David, let’s remember: it’s not how we look or what we’ve achieved, but how we trust the One who leads us.
