This is the description of David recorded in 1 Samuel 16:18:

Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence, and the Lord is with him.

Part 1 examines the first three qualities:

• Skillful in playing - David practiced, worked hard, didn’t quit when things were difficult…

These are great character qualities to develop in your own life - as Thomas Watson reminds us, you can judge a flower by its buds, you can judge a man by his youth!
