The story of King David is what have puzzled me. From conception to time of his Kingly anointing is not just another story. I have been questioning why did God just openly declare his love and relate His heart to that of this King(Acts 13:22, King David is called a man after God's own heart).
The childhood of King David is full of tribulations,trials,mockery,rejection and all tests that came on his way. He is rejected by his family and that is from a 'twist' that was done by his MOTHER,Nitzevet though she is not named in the Bible.
Jesse who never knew that he was the king's 'BIOLOGICAL FATHER' put 'his' son in rejection, this is evidently seen when asked by Prophet Samuel of any other child and Jesse can tell his view of the little boy. The little boy was disregarded by his almost every member of his family and was seen as an outcast; his brother dismayed and mocked him when the little boy stole a moment to go and inquire about Goliath, they down looked him and saw him as valueless.
The little King's family was never bothered on his safety, it's only through God that he used to manage killing beasts once they attacked his flock. Though nothing is stated in the bible of King David's Mother it is however written in 'other' books and studies. Nitzevet as recorded on the studies is the only one who lived in sorrows for her son and also knew the truth that Jesse was the father of David.
God have His Unique way of strategising one's life and David is a real example on this. One may pass through valleys of snares and even death itself, One may dine with all tribulations, one may walk in the dark shadows of death and still be in God's life big FOCUS. This story of King David maybe happened for you and me to get courage and serve God's Purpose in our lives.
You may be in almost similar situation just like King David's Childhood life BUT get patience for your yoke is being loosened and your purpose in life will unveil. It is somehow unbelievable in the flesh but see it with your inner eyes,eyes that will reflect God's big picture.
