In life, we must be intentional about being obedient in our preparation for what God is calling us to. It’s easy to make excuses or justify why we aren’t taking action—but excuses delay purpose. Preparation is key. Obedience is key. When we walk in both, we position ourselves to step fully into what God has planned for us.

David didn’t face Goliath on a whim—he was prepared through obedience in the field, tending sheep and trusting God in private long before he stood in public.

“The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” — 1 Samuel 17:37 (NIV)

Just like David, your preparation matters. Stay faithful. God is getting you ready.
