David was not only played down but played out by those who owed him their love.
The father forgot him.
And what if it was a game of chance and that being present at the meeting where the kingship was being determined was the only deciding factor? He would have been played out.
He was despised.
His special qualities resembled a curse.
This was a reflection of how he was treated at home. The last born is usually everyone’s treasure but this was not the case with him.
It was a foreshadow of Christ Himself: the stone the builders rejected.
It was rejected for the very reason it fitted the head of the corner.
It was special.

When you are in God’s plan, your rejections, betrayals, disappointments and heartaches bring you closer to your ordained destination.
The anointing in you is a cure for many.
The adversity increases the potency of the cures you will bring to many people.
