In 1 Samuel 16, David embodies humble service by soothing King Saul with music even after being anointed the future ruler of Israel, showing that God often shapes his leaders in seasons of waiting. David’s obedience points to the greater Suffering Servant, Jesus, whose sacrificial death brings lasting peace. As you disciple your kids in the ways of Jesus, let David’s example and Jesus’ perfect humility inspire you to serve with quiet confidence, trusting that God uses every act of faithfulness, seen or unseen, to reveal his love to us.
