Success = God + Migthy Men - 1 Chronicles 10-14

I love this section of God's Word. God has done some great work in my heart over the years with this double-edged sword. God gives us, in these chronicles of the kings, the key to success in leadership: Allow God to surround you with mightily men and with that combination you can't go wrong. David was chosen by God from the sheepfolds to lead Israel. He was young and he was inexperienced on how to lead people. However, God brought to his side great warriors and counselors who were not only loyal to him but also to God. God brought Noah animals two-by-two; God brought David mighty men (it seems in groups of "three"). These mighty men were skilled and fearless warriors. But, they were also loyal to David. Only God can surround you with type of support. However, you have to be humble enough to realize it and faithful enough to pray for it. God wants us to be great leaders in our families, churches, business ventures and communities. However, we have to trust Him to grow them and our leadership by surrounding us with His chosen mighty men in our lives.
