This is the description of David recorded in 1 Samuel 16:18:

Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence, and the Lord is with him.

Part 2 examines the first three qualities:

• Prudent in speech - do you use your words well, do you weigh them before you speak, do you consider how your words are being received by others?
• Man of good presence - how do people feel when you walk into a room - glad that you’re there, or not so much?!
• The Lord is with him - do you know that as a child of God, the Lord is with you and goes wherever you go, watches whatever you watch - is the Lord pleased to be in your presence?

These are great character qualities to develop in your own life - as Thomas Watson reminds us, you can judge a flower by its buds, you can judge a man by his youth!
