Oops...we forgot
David is such a significant figure in scripture. He is so important that whole of his story is spread throughout the books of Samuel, Kings, Chronicles and, of course, Psalms. Jesus calls himself, "The Son of David." Isn't it interesting that the very important King David's story begins, as it were, "Once upon a time there was this boy that no one thought much of. A boy so insignificant that he was left out and forgotten by his own family, forgotten even when the most important spiritual leader in of all Israel drops by for dinner." So, David gets up one morning...early as usual, like "it is still dark" early. He goes out as he always does to tend the sheep. Grabbing his harp on the way out the door, he faces what, for all the world, looks like every other day: walk the hills, tend the sheep, kill a bear or perhaps a lion, (yeah...we'll talk about that later), sing and play the harp a bit, tend the sheep, walk the hills. Back at home,...
