He sees differently. He calls the unlikely. He […]

These chapters bring us face-to-face with a sobering truth: partial obedience is still disobedience. Saul’s failure to fully follow God’s command costs him the kingdom. In contrast, God chooses David—a humble shepherd—to be Israel’s next king. Why? Because God looks at the heart. This episode reminds us that God values surrender over sacrifice and humility […]
