The Story of David | Week 2
In a world where appearances can be deceiving and judgments are made in haste, it’s important to look inward and find our true selves. Whether we’re like Saul, who never fully accepted his role as God’s chosen, or like David, who knew he was God’s beloved even in his darkest moments, we all have a unique identity that is worth embracing. So take a moment to reflect on who you truly are and stand firm in that truth. You are loved, valued, and chosen by the God who created the universe. Let that be your foundation and let your light shine for all to see.
The Story of David | Week 1
Finding our identity in our profession, role or title can make us feel less than, but rooting our identity in God makes us grounded regardless of what we do. Our identity is shaped in silence, not in the spectacular. David’s life teaches us this lesson as before becoming king, he was just a shepherd. His role as a shepherd was viewed as insignificant, and even his brothers used it to demean and exclude him. However, being a shepherd taught David the skills and character he needed to become a good king. Ultimately, finding our identity in God can help us realize our worth and purpose, even in seemingly insignificant roles.

Sloth essentially says, “I want God to love me, but being changed by his love is too hard.
