    My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand. John 10:27'29 WEB.The hero of t...

This Is The One

  • Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, 'Yahweh has not chosen these.' Samuel said to Jesse, 'Are all your children here?' He said, 'There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep.' Samuel said to Jesse, 'Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here.' He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with a handsome face and good appearance. Yahweh said, 'Arise! Anoint him, for this is he.' Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. 1 Samuel 16:10 WEB

    While the sheep grazed peacefully, David reached down and picked up another rock. Placing it in his sling, he twirled it about before releasing it and watching it soar through the air. He was out in the field tending the sheep day after day, playing his harp, spending time with the Lord, and he had no idea that his future was being formed while doing it.

    David had seven brothers, all who were older and bigger than he was, but God chose him because He looked on David's heart. David spent time with God in the field when he was tending sheep, and God took his life to a new level while he was doing it.

    David protected his dad's sheep when he was little, then God's sheep when he was grown. The sling that he played with in the fields, later killed Goliath. God will use the trivial things that you learn along the way to prepare you for something bigger.

    Today, talk with God wherever you are, whatever you are doing. While in the field, or in the home, talk with Him. The relationship that you develop in the simple things will lead on to something much greater. God just might say: 'This is the one, anoint them for My work.'

    Prayer: Father, thank You for bringing me this far. Guide me into all that You have and help me make the most of my time here on earth. Help me to know You in a deeper way Lord, in Jesus name I pray.

Diane Casey
Diane Casey I talk to God often, about everything, since I live alone, he is always there listening and guide me thru my day. I talk to him about small matters like what am I going to cook for dinner to what am I going to wear today, I even asks him to help me and strengthen me to clean my house, and he answers all my prayers from the smallest to the overwhelming ones. I am so glad he is there with a listening ear. Blessings to you!
