God choses David as his king (1 Samuel 16:7,13-15)

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his height or his stature, because I have rejected him (David's older brother); for God sees not as a man sees, for a man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him (David) in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized him.

Here we have a contrast between Israel's first two kings. The first who is Saul is described as standing a head taller than other men. David on the other hand was a youth who was ruddy and handsome in appearance who one would have never considered to be a valiant warrior. God on the other hand knows that this boy is a shepherd and one who can shepherd his people in the same way that he tends to his sheep. Neither God or Jesus Christ put value on "blind guides," but instead want someone who will be the Good Shepherd which is another name for Jesus Christ. In these days, the Spirit of God would come upon someone so that they would have divine power to enable them to accomplish a kingdom task. In this case, God removed his Spirit from Saul and gave it to David who he says is a man after my own heart. In the fullness of times, with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, believers are now indwelt by the Holy Spirit and he does not depart from the one who has been saved by the blood of Christ.

Daily Prayer: Father, thank you for sending the Son to do for me what I cannot do for myself. He is truly the Good Shepherd. Let this gift of salvation and eternal life be motivation enough to tell others and draw them to you. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
