  Speaker 1: Faithful in the field. Zachariah four and ten in the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: New Living transationation says, do not despise these small beginnings,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. You know,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: as a teenager, David experienced a life changing moment. The
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: prophet Samuel anointed him to be the next king of Israel.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Oil was poured over.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: His head, words of destiny were spoken in heaven marked
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: him as chosen. Yet after that powerful moment, David didn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: walk into a palace or sit on a throne. He
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: went right back to the shepherd's field, back to the quiet,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: back to the routine, back to watching sheep that didn't
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: seem to match the promise spoken over his life. See
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that's often how God works.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: You could be anointed, but before you are appointed, there
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: will be a season of preparation, a season where the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: promise feels bigger than your current position.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: David could have grown frustrated. He could have thought, why
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: am I out here with sheep when I'm called to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: be a king? No one was applauding him in the fields.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: No one was celebrating his obedience. But David stayed faithful
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: right where he was. Let me say that part again.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: David stayed faithful right where he was, with no crowd watching.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: David chose excellence. He cared for the sheep as if
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they were a kingdom. He protected them from lions, he
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: protected them from bears. He practiced his sling, not knowing
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that those quiet moments of discipline would one day prepare
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: him to face Goliath. What looked like a small assignment
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was actually God's training ground. God wasn't just preparing David
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to defeat a giant, He was preparing him to shepherd
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a whole nation.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Well, the same is true for you and me.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Small beginnings are not signs of small destinies. No, they
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: are evidence that God is building.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: A strong foundation.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So don't you dare despise where you are right now
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: just because it doesn't.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Match where you're going.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Don't slack off because the spotlight isn't on you right now.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Don't grow weary because your faithfulness seems unnoticed right now.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You're not being overlooked. You're being prepared.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: When you serve with integrity when you give your best
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and unseen places. When you do the right thing even
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: when no one seems to care, God is watching. He
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: sees your heart, he sees your consistency, he sees your
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: excellent spirit. And because He can trust you in the field,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: he will trust you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: With more in the future.
