Do you know that your physical appearance and size are not the real parameters to triumph in the battles of life? Else why didn't giant Goliath, a warlord, swallow up David, a young shepherd boy? And that age is not a sure ticket to career success? Otherwise, why didn't Ahab win in sound leadership and political proficiency when compared with the young king Josiah? That one's societal status and background are not the sole deciding factor in successorship? Else why didn't Hophni and Phinehas succeed the priestly office in the place of their father, Eli, instead of Samuel, an Ephraimite? And why didn't the royal nestlings of Egypt assume the office of the prime minister in the days of Joseph, the Hebrew slave?
