S – He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; ⁷¹ he brought him from tending ewes to be shepherd over his people Jacob—over Israel, his inheritance. ⁷² He shepherded them with a pure heart and guided them with his skillful hands. 

Psalms 78:70–72 CSB

O – God chose David not because he was perfect or sinless.  David’s faith was true loyalty and unyielding trust in the Lord.  Along with his faith, David led with wisdom and knowledge.

A – Our faith and trust in God is an important part of our walk with God.  We must continue to grow in it.  As we do, we will see God grow every aspect of us including our ability to lead and interact with others.

R – Heavenly Father, you are the only God.  Help us to grow in our faith and trust in you.  We want to know you more and our faith helps us to see more of your character and promise.
