His name is synonymous with heroic stories and daring escapes. He was the one who slew the bear and the lion with his own hands—the teenager who became a giant killer, an articulate poet, and the greatest king ever to sit on an Israelite throne.

His secret came from time spent alone in green pastures with the Great Shepherd.  Let his example teach you more about the God who made a great king out of a Little Shepherd Boy.
