Samuel Anoints David: Called from the Fields

Hebrew Key: Mashiach (מָשִׁיחַ) — "anointed one".

The youngest, overlooked, and humble—David's call is a reminder that God sees the heart, not just outer stature. Being 'anointed' is not only for kings; it’s a symbol of each person’s unique purpose. Let yourself believe that even in ordinary moments, you are seen and called for something meaningful.

Reflection: Where do you sense a subtle invitation to step into purpose today?
