“He chose David his servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;
from following the nursing ewes he brought him
to shepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his inheritance.”
– Psalm 78:70-71
God chooses whom He chooses and He empowers those He chooses. David was the youngest of many sons, a humble shepherd, a nobody in the eyes of the world. Yet God saw within David a heart of faith which would make for a great king. God raised David up and used him in mighty ways we read about and celebrate 3000 years later.
Every follower of Christ has good works already prepared for him or her to do, regardless of age, health, wealth, status, or ability (Ephesians 2:10). Have no doubt that God will empower you to do whatever He’s called you to do. Focus instead on having that heart of faithful obedience, a pliable heart willing to follow wherever God leads.
Devote yourself to serving God, discerning where He would have you serve and trying out possibilities until you find the works He’s prepared for you. Serve well and do not doubt the eternal impact of your service! And stay near to God so that you know when He is calling you to different works of service that already await!
