God or Man?

Chosen by God or by man? 
“Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.” So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”” 
 I Samuel   16:10-12    

Many have behaved themselves like the seven sons that Jesse introduced to prophet Samuel, worried about themselves, seeking for a title and a position, concerned about their outlook and own well-being giving a clear proof that were chosen not by God, but by man. 
He who is chosen by God knows that his blessing comes in the right time. He does not depend on what others say about him, he does not care about position nor what is given for him to do. 

He knows that God is with him and wherever he goes he grows up because he has the full assurance that the God who chose him will honor him, like David who was taken from the sheepfold to be in a palace, just because he was chosen by God. 

“Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. 2 Samuel 7.8.”
