DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 11-12; Jeremiah 48; Hebrews 12:18 to 13:6
And there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff (supplies). 1 Samuel 25: 13
Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil … Then said David … But as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff (supplies) they shall part alike. 1 Samuel 30:22, 23, 24
David ordered that those who stayed by the stuff would share equally with those who went out to battle. What a gracious principle. God rewards both the “front line” workers and those in the background. By praying, giving and encouraging, you can stay by the stuff and support those who are actively engaged. —Robert Gentile
Members on our Head depending; lights reflecting Him, our Sun,
Brethren His commands attending, we in Him, our Lord, are one.
