December 15

“And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Are all the young men here?’ Then he said, ‘There remains yet the youngest…And Samuel said to Jesse, ‘Send and bring him…And the Lord said, ‘Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!’” (1 Sam 16:11-12).

Jesus saw the possibilities in the overlooked. A publican His first biographer? The woman of Sychar an evangelist? Mercurial Peter an apostle? Lord, anoint our eyes to see others as You do!
