Do you want to join a great cause?
Perceive: David’s band-of-brothers continues to grow with the addition of seven key defectors from the tribe of Manasseh. Most likely these men joined David just before the battle of Mount Gilboa. Once part of David’s team, they help him get the families back from the Philistine raiders. They are considered mighty men of valor. Day by day new warriors arrive and fill up the ranks. His growing collection of warriors is like the camp of God.
Practice: David’s army was growing at a rapid rate. David’s great leadership, charismatic appeal, the reputation of his mighty men, and seasoned combatants drew new members. Word was spreading of their victories and their desire to see God’s will done in making David the rightful king. Most people are drawn to consider joining a cause much bigger than themselves. As true believers involved in a growing local church (band-of-brothers), we have a greater cause – the salvation of mankind, the discipleship of believers, and the raising of godly families. If we are brave, determined, and faithful, others will be drawn to work with us.
Pray: O Lord, help me be a man of valor who seeks daily opportunities to share Christ with those who do not know You, and to help all those who do grow closer to You.
