Boughton describes the clay soil as a heavy soil type that benefits from high nutrient. Clay soil remains wet and cold in winter and dry out in summer. Due to the spaces found between clay particles, the soil holds a high amount of water. It feels very sticky and rolls like plasticine when wet. The clay is one of the three types of soil that we have. By the way, where can we find soil? On the ground or floor; we walk on it, throw our garbage on it and do just what we like on it, but the clay soil distinguishes itself and finds itself above the ground. It can be found in the queen’s palace and in many prestigious as vases, tiles, mugs, plates and different ceramic products.

David never knew he was made to be more than just a shepherd feeding his father’s sheep. God’s plan for him was to be the shepherd over the entire flock – Israel. He was doing what he was assigned to do diligently and eventually he got to the throne. Just like the clay, think of how to be a better version of yourself at the break of each day. You have lots of abilities in you, start using them.
