The Lord can train each one of us. He is willing to teach us what He has called us to do. David was trained as a warrior while watching the sheep under his care. God can also teach us while serving faithfully in the field where He has placed us. David’s training required facing the

Therefore, affliction should turn you to God and not drive you
Moses told Jethro that he (Moses) wanted to go back and see how his people in Egypt were doing. A similar language was used to describe his first mission, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. (Ex 2:11). Indirectly, Moses told Jethro, “I’m going to complete what I started.” The
Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honour or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king— wisdom and
