Before his victory over Goliath, Saul saw David as just another shepherd boy, perhaps a bit more zealous than the rest, but nothing really special. It was after he killed Goliath that Saul took notice. David's actions had set him apart. Saul wanted to know who he was. He wanted to know who the father that had reared such a son was.
Our actions set us apart; they reveal our lineage. What we do demonstrates whose child we are and reflects the influence of our parents in our lives. If we are children of the living God, our lives will show it, and the world will know it. Jesus told His followers their works should be seen by men who would in turn glorify the Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16).
What does your life say about your spiritual lineage? As the world watches you, will they know God is your Father; or will they have to ask?
Lord, let me live in such a way that others will know I am Yours.
