Joel Osteen Daily Inspiration for Today 2nd March 2022.
David’s father overlooked him. Jesse left him in the shepherd’s fields when Samuel came to anoint one of his sons as the next king. David could have been insecure, had low self-esteem and thought, “My father doesn’t even believe in me.” But David’s attitude was, “I’ve already looked in the right mirror.
I know who I am. I’m a giant killer. He may not see it, but that doesn’t change it.” When he took lunch to his brothers on the battlefield, one brother made fun of him, tried to make him feel small. David could have been offended, got upset, but he said, “No thanks. You don’t determine my image. I’m not getting my value from you; my value comes from my Creator.” When he told King Saul that he wanted to face Goliath, Saul said, “Don’t be ridiculous David; you’re just a boy.”
Most people would have been discouraged, talked out of it, but not David. He didn’t let other people control his image. When Goliath saw how small David was, he started laughing, making fun. David said, “Goliath, what you say doesn’t bother me. I’ve already looked in the right mirror. Your threats, your insults have come too late. I know who I am.” David slung that rock and Goliath came tumbling down.
