1 Chronicles 11
STRONG SUPPORTERS

As we browse through the list of David’s mighty men, the thing that stands out for us is their faith, bravery and amazing strength. No wonder they were David’s mighty men!

But despite the fact that they broke through enemy lines, killed giants, killed lions, and stood single handedly against whole armies, the one thing they all had in common was something that any of us can do. Here it is: “Now these are the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.” (1 Chronicles 11 v 10 ESV).

The common attribute David’s mighty men had was their strong support of David. Very few of us ever get to be king, let alone the most powerful king in the world. So that leaves us as either supporters or protesters of the people in charge. Like David’s mighty men, let’s make sure that we are strong supporters of the people that lead us. Leaders can’t lead without support. Strong supporters make great leaders.

May our love and support be shown to the people God has put into our lives this week.

 With love in our Lord,
Robert
