Have you ever felt like your life doesn’t match the calling God has placed on you? David knew that feeling well—he was anointed to be the next king of Israel, yet sent back to watch sheep. When he finally got called to the palace, it wasn’t to wear the crown but to play music for the king. Even as the king’s armor-bearer, he was still serving, not ruling. But in every moment, God was working a plan. David’s willingness to serve where he was prepared him for what he was called to be. The same is true for you—when your reality doesn’t look like your promise, trust that God is still at work. Your heart to serve now is shaping the greatness ahead.
