We can’t follow God on our own terms. To follow Him is going to be hard. We are going to be stretched and pushed outside of our comfort zones. We often esteem David as having some special qualities that made him exceptionally equipped to serve as God’s servant. Yet, as Pastor Mark points out in today’s message, the only way that David may have been special was in his inadequacy. As a shepherd, he was at the bottom of the social ladder. He wasn’t the best looking, tallest or strongest. He probably wasn’t the smartest either. Yet, God took him and anointed him to serve a crucial role in leading His people.
