1 Chronicles 12:22
For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like an army of God.
Tag: God Supports Those He Calls
One of the great truths of God’s Word is demonstrated in the above verse. This passage comes after King Saul has been killed in battle and David is giving the keys to the kingdom. David is up for the position, but he can not do it alone. God begins to surround him with men of war and men of God. These men would be referred to as “David’s Mighty Men.” David didn’t necessarily recruit people to follow him, but he did screen them. Note the passage just before the above verse:
1 Chronicles 12:16-17
And some of the men of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David. David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in friendship to help me, my heart will be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, although there is no wrong in my hands, then may the God of our fathers see and rebuke you.”
David needed support but he needed men of God. God began to supply him with those he would need to lead the kingdom. This is what God does for us. He supplies those people in our lives we need to accomplish the missions He gives us. God supplied men of God to Paul so that He could build the church. We are always being supplied with the people we need to accomplish the mission God gives us. Other people are God’s hands and feet and voice to us. We have the blessing of God to, each day, from day to day, receive those God sends us to accomplish our God given tasks.
