good. So you're definitely going to want to share it. Pass it along. Take good

notes. It's going to be rich. I'll see you at the end. Enjoy.

I heard God say, take the lead. I was studying in scripture about moments when

God was having transition take place amongst His people. Who were the people in

those moments who stood up to those moments of transition. I was studying this

because I believe that as I watched the landscape of the world, the landscape of

church, that we are experiencing a transition and that no one truly knows how

to respond to this transition because some of our ideas are so innovative and

so creative that there's nothing in the industries, nothing in our families that

reflect what we are sensing should be next. And yet that desire still in us.

I was studying and I ran across not an unfamiliar text, but it's David.

David at this point in the text has been anointed king.

Even though no one saw it coming, he was anointed. Although he was anointed, he

did not move into position just because he was anointed and that's a sermon

unto itself. Just because you're anointed doesn't mean you're ready for the

crown that you've been anointed for. There's something about a development

process and we find David in the middle of his developmental process in

1st Samuel 17 verse 31. And my text begins in the new King James version. It says,

now when the words which David spoke were heard, let me set this up for you.
