 Samuel the prophet was instructed by God to anoint a replacement for King Saul, whose reign was coming to a chaotic end. The prophet was instructed to go to a man named Jesse, one of Jesse's sons, was to be king. While examining the sons of Jesse, the prophet heard God say, The Lord seeeth not as man seeeth, for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. Jesse presented the sons he thought most suitable, but God rejected each one of them. The prophet asked, Are these all the sons you have? There is still the youngest Jesse replied, but he's out in the fields watching the sheep and goats. That son in the field was David, the shepherd who would become king. When you feel overlooked, remember, God is the one who anoints. The mantle doesn't come from man. The mantle does not fall on titles or entitlements or ability or skill. The anointing isn't passed by way of family ties, social standing, or the means of man. When others reject and misunderstand you, God has the final say. You're not forgotten, you're set apart.
