King but a servant (David)

Can the dry ground be plant or can the desert spring up with river? Who knows the end of a servant? Is it possible for the servant to become king? Do royals can be overthrown? Is there any hope for the destitute? In fact, this world has a lot of lessons that needs to be study. And again there are histories that need to be reconsidering again. Many people consider weeds instead of seed; others consider sand instead of gold, and others admire giants instead of intelligent.

Many other people prefer fake instead of the original. Some also seek for beauty without quality and so on. What do I mean? Many people in the world always look at the surface and never mind the interior.

Others prefer beautiful giants without intelligence. Some also admire body instead of ability and the wise. There are many people who always consider empty bottles as a substitute for fill bottles.

It is not all that shine is the light to prevent darkness. And gain not all sand is use for building a house; and not all soil is good for planted the seed. Those who are wise and able to do are sometimes regardless by men because of their form or state. Others are rejected because of their poverty. But the world cannot move to it best without these people who are less regarded. Some people are nothing before their family, but they are the ones who hold the key to the success.

Their stature is not welcome, or it is not what you will desire, but they are truly heroes among men. These people are able and intelligent. They are like termites you cannot value them, but they built tomes of houses and skyrockets.

They are industries, wise and practical. There are many wonders in the world; some of these wonders are not esteem by people because of their state. Let us consider some of these wonders less regard in nature.

Proverbs 30:24–28

Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise: the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer; the rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs; the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank; the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.

Do not look and measure men at your own eyes but weigh by their ability and again do not compare; because they all have their stand. May be you are nothing before your family; nothing before your country, nothing before colleagues, because of your poverty and stature. But God remembers you; you are somebody and admire by God. Do not be discourage because of your poverty or your state which seems without hope.

King David was like that, his family rejected him, and he was less esteemed but intelligent and admire by God. People respect giants without good attitude; they admire weeds instead of seed; they love quantity instead of quality. Some also respect those of big titles but inactivity. In this world, people with hope are impractical but people without hope are useful. Never discriminate and look down on others.

Do not measure men with your eye and value the one than the other; but respect each and know that, they all have their stand and value. Do not be deceived by big giant bodies or control by charm things. There are many people who are not as you measure or value. Some are flesh without bones and other’s bones without flesh. That is, they look attractive but they are measureless. Let us note this scripture;

1samuel 16:6–13

When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”

Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.” And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome.

And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. The world we live has misunderstandings; not what the world valued is valuable before God.

Do not think that one deserve than the other who you value because of the height or the beauty. Never again think that the poor in stature in your own estimate have nothing to serve. But they are the ones who carried water among men and able as an ant.

This book title (The Hero’s Track) is pointing to the people who are ready to fight the good fight of faith, and are ready to stand faithfully no matter the trials. The heroes are the people who stand no matter the circumstance or the conditions hardly to entertain.

They never think of big names; wealth or anything worthy but they look before God and admit their condition whether good or bad; but believing that, they will have their good reward on earth and the world to come. Never laugh at the poor in stature or disregard the man who is the youngest in life. Who knows the life of a king?
