Week 7: David: Equipped in the Fields

David’s preparation for leadership didn’t begin on a battlefield or in a palace; it began in the quiet fields of Bethlehem. While others saw only a shepherd boy, God saw a man after His own heart. The skills David developed, faithfulness, courage, humility, and trust, were all forged in obscurity. When the day came to face Goliath, David was ready because he had already learned to rely on God’s strength, not his own. This lesson reminds us that God often equips His servants in hidden places long before He calls them into public service. What we learn in the field prepares us for what we face in the fight.
