Rooted

Possibly redhead

Definitely courageous

Beauty exalted.

—-

A young shepherd boy,

Destined for greatness by God

because of his heart.

—-

Goliath mocked God.

David took down the giant-

Faith and one smooth rock.

—-

Author and Prophet,

Musician and Warrior,

God’s beloved King.

—

Jesse, then David,

A lineage preserved by God

for our redemption.

‬‬

““And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.””

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
