David is a man of many talents!
Yet most people don’t immediately think of him as David the prophet. More often we think of him as King David, the sweet psalmist of Israel, the man after God’s own heart, the shepherd, and the faith-filled slayer of Goliath. David was a man of many talents, and he used them to serve God with all his might.

And God inspired David’s prayers and meditations to be recorded and preserved for us for various purposes. David’s psalms serve as examples of a multifaceted prayer life.

Saint David, who prophecies the coming of Jesus Christ, is honored by the Orthodox Christian Church on December 26 of each year.
