I urge you to rekindle the flame of God's gift that you have received.
2 Timothy 1:6
Others may not think you are important, but God does. And his opinion counts the most. Before David became king, he had to overcome two obstacles.
The first reason is his family's inability to see his potential. When Samuel the prophet searches for a king among the sons of Jesse, David is not even considered. Maybe it's because he's the youngest, his brothers seem more qualified, or his father wants to impress the prophet.
The second obstacle is Samuel's inability to recognize God's call to him. When the prophet meets Eliab, the eldest brother general of the royal army, he declares, “Surely the Lord has chosen him.” But God rebukes Samuel with these words: “Man sees what the eye sees, but the Lord sees that Heart” (1 Samuel 16:6-7).
Put it this way: David's problem is widespread. Maybe we don't believe in ourselves because our parents didn't encourage us. Some have great musical potential, but since no one encouraged them to take lessons when they were young, they gave up. A would-be entrepreneur who is criticized for his “crazy business ideas” is likely to give up on his youthful dreams.
If you feel this way, it's time to take responsibility for yourself and assert who you are. Start praying that God will open your eyes and bring someone into your life who will rekindle the gift within you.
