I just watched an interview snippet with the actor who plays David in the new series House of David. What he said really struck me. He mentioned how easy it is, when playing such an epic role, to make it all about David. But then he added something simple and beautiful: it’s not really about David. It’s about God. It’s about how David's heart longed for God.
That line hasn’t left me since.
Because isn’t that the truth of our own lives too?
We get caught up in the idea that we are the main character in the story — our struggles, our goals, our heartbreaks, our victories. It’s so easy to live that way, especially in a world that constantly tells us to “be yourself” and “build your own legacy.”
But when we pause… when we look beyond the surface… we realize: it has always been about God.
Everything.
The good moments, the hard seasons, the quiet in-betweens : none of them were random. They were opportunities to know Him, love Him, and do His will.
David wasn’t great because he slayed Goliath or became king. He was great because, even in his failures, his heart chased after God.He repented genuinely and never repeated his mistakes.
That’s what set him apart.
And that’s what sets us apart too.
When we start seeing our days not as a personal performance, but as a chance to love and serve the One who created us — something shifts.
We become freer. Less obsessed with recognition, more open to humility. Less panicked by the unknown, more surrendered to God's perfect plan.
Because at the end of the day, whether our lives are filled with worldly success or quiet faithfulness that no one sees ; what we truly need to focus on is doing exactly what God wanted of us. Nothing more, nothing less.
So from today, let’s try to make it a little less about ourself and a lot more about Him.
