Numbers 4:1-49; Proverbs 1:1-33; Mark 14:1-26
David came to the two hundred men who had been so weary that they could not follow David … [and said] … as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike. 1 Samuel 30:21-24 NKJV
David’s actions foreshadow our King’s appreciation of service. David’s rewards were based on one’s service unto exhaustion, not on their accomplishments. When we are left with only strength to guard and pray, our King transforms such efforts into wonderful outcomes and they will eventually give rise to praise, glory and honour from Him (1 Peter 1:7) at His coming. —David J. Reed
Channels only, blessed Master, but with all Thy wondrous pow’r
Flowing thro’ us, Thou canst use us, ev’ry day and eve’ry hour. —Mary Maxwell
