Anointed Yet Unnoticed
Before he became king, David’s story reminds me that anointing often arrives before visibility. “…The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David from that day forward” (1 Samuel 16:13b, CSB), and then he returned to the hills with the sheep. No throne. No crown. Only fields, a sling, and a song.
The presence of God did not wait for a platform. It rested on a person who found himself in ordinary moments.
