1 Samuel 17:28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men. And Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption and the evil of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”(ESV)
David came to the battlefield carrying food for his brothers, not seeking a crown for himself. But Eliab saw pride where God had already seen a king. Sometimes the people most familiar with our ordinary life are the slowest to recognize what God is forming in us. Their misunderstanding doesn’t cancel the calling, and their contempt doesn’t get the final word. David still had to answer the giant in front of him.
