It's never about us

After 1 Samuel 17:26-49 

It’s never about us,

this life we live,

this world we inhabit;

it never is. And it never

was about us. A drama

unfolds across the years, 

across the millennia, 

across time human

and divine, a drama

in which we play but

a small part. No, it’s

not about us, but

about the one who

has written the drama,

the playwright, as

it’s always been.
