And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to (David). So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him -1 Sam. 22:2.
When you know whose you are, where you're going, and whose hand you're in. It doesn't matter who wants to be with you, the halt, the lame, the downtrodden, the rejected, the depressed. Take them all with you. After all, who holds you in His hand is able to take care of everyone.
When God decided to raise up a nation of His own, He did not call upon the masses. He called out one leader- Abraham. When He wanted to deliver His people out of Egypt, He didn't guide them as a group. He raised up a leader to do it- Moses. When it came time for the people to cross into the promised land, they followed one man- Joshua.
Every time God desired to do something great, He called a leader to step forward. Today He still calls leaders to step forward for every good work- both small and great.
Prayer: Father let us never judge anyone for we are all Your handmade. Give us a heart and a passion for the lost in Jesus name. Amen.
Encouragement: James 2:1-9.
