How do we know that God prepared David for His service?

Answered in 1 source

God prepared David for service through the workings of His providence, illustrating that divine purpose aligns with human action in fulfilling God's plans (1 Samuel 16:19).

God's providential hand guided David into service, emphasizing that when God intends for someone to enter His ministry, He orchestrates circumstances to prepare them. This is beautifully illustrated when Saul requests David to be brought to his palace after being tormented by an evil spirit. David was called not through his own scheming, but rather through God's purposes unfolding naturally. The kindness of Saul towards David, where he found favor in Saul’s eyes, serves as evidence of God’s hand at work in fulfilling His promise regarding David's future role. Thus, it is crucial for believers to trust and recognize God's providential direction as they navigate their own paths to service.
