Cliff Young and David were both unlikely candidates for greatness—one an aging farmer, the other a young shepherd—yet each stunned the world through quiet, unseen preparation. Their stories powerfully illustrate a deeper biblical truth: true readiness, especially spiritual readiness, is not visible to the eye but forged over time through perseverance, humility, and faith. Scripture emphasizes preparation as a deeply personal responsibility that cannot be shared at the moment of testing and we urged not to delay our preparation and reminded that trials help develop the godly character needed for the Kingdom.
