David and Goliath: Lesson Two

God prepares you in the small places first.

David was the youngest. His three oldest brothers followed Saul to war.

1 Samuel 17:14 (KJV): And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.

David went back and forth to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

1 Samuel 17:15 (KJV): But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

Out with the sheep, God gave him victory over a lion and a bear.

1 Samuel 17:34-35 (KJV): And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

If you are faithful in the little things, God can trust you with more.

Luke 16:10 (KJV): He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
