God is fantastic at ensuring the right guy is in the fight place at the right time. There are many opinions on the depression Saul suffered, but whatever the reason it brought the shepherd boy David to the palace. 1 Samuel 16: 16-18 Saul's advisors said, "This awful tormenting depression from God is making your life miserable. O Master, let us help. Let us look for someone who can play the harp. When the black mood from God moves in, he'll play his music and you'll feel better." Saul told his servants, "Go ahead. Find me someone who can play well and bring him to me." One of the young men spoke up, "I know someone. I've seen him myself: the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, an excellent musician. He's also courageous, of age, well-spoken, and good-looking. And God is with him." Saul did not know that David had been anointed to be king but Saul’s invitation to the palace gave a shepherd boy firsthand experience of the running of a palace and a nation. There are times in our life we know God’s plans but they have to be put on hold while we learn and grow into them. God’s plans for David would happen, as they will in our lives with faith and patience.
