Day 24: 90-Day Bible Challenge

Today’s reading:
2 Sam. 22:19-1 Kings 7:37

A thought or two:
I love reading the list of David’s mighty men in chapter 23. These were some incredible men! They did some awesome stuff in corporate battles as well as on their own. They loved David and were extremely faithful to him. They were the kind of men that would risk life and limb to get David a drink of water out of a specific well. No wonder David was so successful!

I have to ask myself how did David develop such a team? Why were these men in David’s court and not Saul’s or another leader? Maybe it was because David was that kind of man himself. Maybe it was because no matter how Saul treated David, David still honored him and served him faithfully. David was willing to risk his neck for Saul and now David has a team of men that serve him faithfully.

You attract who you are. David was faithful and daring, so faithful and daring men were attracted to his leadership. If you look around you and your closest friends are dysfunctional and unfaithful people, ask yourself, “Am I dysfunctional and unfaithful?” If you want to up the quality of people you attract, become the kind of person that you want around you and soon you will have faithful and daring partners that will stand by your side through thick and thin!
