them off. (NASB)
Squares pegs are not a good fit for round holes. Most of us know this from experience – all the way back to preschool. We know it and yet we still try to make it work. We do it at work. We do it at home. We even do it a church. We try to make things fit into a system whether it will or not.
Sometimes we are the square pegs and others are trying to force us to fit into their way of thinking. Saul tried to make David a warrior like himself. It did not work for David. He had to be true to the gifts and abilities God had given to him. Many people know what we should do and how we should do it. They demand we fit their system or become clones of someone in their past. Our responsibility is to be true to God’s purpose, plans, and provisions in our lives.
