I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him – Psalm 89:20
God looked for someone with the right heart in the form of David. And when He found David, He took him out of obscurity and anointed him as king. Then he propelled him to greatness and ensured that He would never be forgotten (through the star of David, which can be found on the flag of the nation of Israel). God desires to do what He did for David for us. God has already searched us out with His love and found us. God has anointed us with His Holy Spirit, and we become royalty in identity. If we wait for the appointed time and follow in the statutes of God (like David), then we too can be propelled to greatness in God’s eyes no matter what we are doing. It is this last part that is difficult for us. When we become like David, there is always a Saul that we need to overcome before we can be propelled to greatness. What or who is your Saul – the enemy that wants to keep you from ascending to the greatest heights? How is the Lord leading you to deal with your Saul? Don’t yield to the urge to achieve greatness in your own way but wait on God’s timing and he will exalt you.
Greatness comes when we overcome our Saul the godly way
