Thank you for listening to Servants for Christ. In all that we do, in all that we say, we want to give glory and honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for tuning us in as we get into the wonderful Word of God. For the next few minutes, let's take the beautiful Word of God and share it with each and every one of you as we have a sense of anticipation to take the Word of God and to listen to its truth for each and every one. This past week, there are some words that begin to come to my heart. I was reading the passage of 1 Samuel chapter 16, verse seven. And the word of God said, but the Lord said unto Samuel, look not on his countenance or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord seeth not as man seeth, for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. Makes me think of what Zachariah said one time, not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. As I read this scripture, It began to remind me that true victory comes not from human strength, but through the power of God, just as David's sling was guided by divine will. And so I began to think of a writing, and this is what it was, the shepherd's sling. A little boy, wonderfully made. with faith unshaken, unafraid. He walked where giants dared to tread and carried the hurt where the wounded bled. The fold was far, the night was long, yet his heart beat steady like a song. For though the wolves would prowl and wait, he knew his God was never late. Don't let the enemy see your fear. a whisper strong, so loud, so clear. This stone that found its rightful place was flung by faith, not might, nor chase. The Lord has conquered time and again. He lifts the weak, he shames the men, who trust in power, swords, and steel, yet crumble at the shepherd's will. He changed the face of nations wide with harp and song, with God as guide, a musician of heart. His hands did bring the bull's-eye struck by a shepherd's sling, anointed where the pastors lay, before the throne, before the fray, with all of heaven, strength untold, a warrior's heart, yet tender soul, so let the giants laugh and scorn. A greater strength in him was born, for battles fall and kingdoms yield to the one who anoints in the shepherd's field. you
