Was David really cast into his family?
David was the youngest son of Jesse and shepherded his father's sheep because he had the inheritance of his father. The occupation of the Jewish people was shepherding. Jesse did not invite David to the election of the new king, the prophet Samuel, because his father's inheritance belonged to David and his brothers were officers in Saul's army. The family occupation of the Jews was from Abel to Jacob, shepherding the sheep. In the Old Testament, God was also the shadow of the shepherd. God saw the shepherding of David's family, and he anointed David and chose him. David lived in the wilderness, tending his father's sheep, because he had none of his brothers' possessions, and the family inheritance was upon David.
Dear God child, there is a God who will honor you if you are faithful in the work He has put you to do.
