Jesse’s backyard became a throne room when the eighth son shuffled in smelling of sheep. While brothers flexed stature, David’s heartbeat synced with God’s rhythm.

Our King still bypasses boardrooms to recruit in break rooms, turning shepherds into psalmists and fishermen into apostles. [25:52]
“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height… The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:7, NIV)
