David informed Saul he would kill Goliath. Yet, when Saul saw David, pimpled, and Goliath, rippled, he did what any Iron Age king would do. “Saul gave David his own armor—bronze helmet and a coat of mail” (I Sam. 17:38 NLT)
However, David rejected the armor, selected the stones, lobotomized the giant, and taught us a powerful lesson: what fits others might not fit you. Indeed, what fits the king might not fit you. Just because someone gives you advice, a job, or a promotion, you don’t have to accept it.
Let your uniqueness define your path of life.

This is sooo very true. Don't you just love the way David decides to lead from his strengths in this story? I do.
Yet another great post (and a great story). So many followers in this life. You've got to know, have to find what's best for you. And many times it has nothing to do with others. It all has to come back to you.
Have a good weekend!
