The Tale of Two Hearts | Pastor Travis Simons

What do you do when there are competing narratives about the condition of your heart? When Samuel arrived at Jesse’s house, he thought Eliab—strong, impressive, and outwardly capable—was God’s chosen one. But God doesn’t look at what we see; He examines the heart. While others dismissed David as insignificant, God saw a heart aligned with His purpose. In that moment, assumptions gave way to divine truth.

David’s anointing reminds us that God uses what others overlook. Your insecurities may feel like limitations, but they’re often the very places where His strength is made perfect. The oil that marked David’s destiny didn’t come without sacrifice—true anointing always requires a cost. But that same oil empowered him with supernatural favor and confidence. Let this be your reminder: the oil knows your name. Stay faithful, trust His timing, and watch as God opens doors only He can.
