THE WINNING ATTITUDE

David said moreover, the Lord that delivered me out the paw of the loin, and the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine[ 1Samuel 17:37}

The opening scripture is the account of David's first encounter with Saul, the king of Isreal. I want you to note that at this time he wasn't qualified to be in the army nor come out in public. Yet , the confidence he exuded as he spoke was nothing short of that of a strong and fierce warrior.
When you study the life of David, you'll understand the reason he became so bold and confident of killing Goliath of Gath was that he had trained for his Winning Attitude. He didn't mind that he was somewhat deemed insignificant by his folks for he knew his future would be great. Nobody know that while he busied tending his father's sheep, God was traning him for the future.
The responsibilities given to him at home by his father seemed menial in comparison with those of his brothers. Nowithstanding, he performed every task faithfully and with utmost diligence. These were the qualities that brought him before Saul. Remember the Bible says, ''Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men'' [Proverb 22: 29}.

Though David was a stripling; unfit and untrained young lad according to societal standards, yet became God's great general for Isreal! God trained him for his future.
Therefore, don't despise any responsibility you're given irrespective of how low it might seem. Philippians 2:14-15 says, ''Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless,the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perversed nation, among whom ye shine as light in the world.''Always remember that God is training you for the great future through His Word and by His Spirit.
