Mundane? I think not...

Now David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years. The three oldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. David was the youngest. The three eldest followed Saul, but David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. For forty days the Philistine came forward and took his stand, morning and evening. And Jesse said to David his son, “Take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers. Also take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand. See if your brothers are well, and bring some token from them.” (1 Samuel 17:12-18 ESV) David was working two or three part-time jobs: shepherd for his father's sheep, songster for Saul in the King's palace, and gopher/messenger for the family. He carried out each of these repetitive, no-guts-or-glory jobs faithfully and joyfully. As we will see, it was only by his doing so that he found himself in the right place at the right time to change history, as well as his own life. He defeated the enemy, got a wife, and became a household name for all generations in one short day. The daily grind. The mundane tasks. The boring life. Never true when you are living life before God, willing to serve Him and others, and step out in faith when the opportunity arises. Have a David kind of day.
