1 Chronicles 12This chapter shows the strong support David received from the tribes of Israel after it became clear that he was God’s choice for king. Thousands came to him, even from Benjamin – Saul’s tribe. It was obvious that he was the focal point of the future of Israel. Those who helped him would be helped by the LORD. The mighty men who took up the sword in the name of David were ensuring a secure future for their families. There were no guarantees that they – personally – would survive the wars with God’s enemies. There was only faith that the LORD and his people would survive, and accomplish God’s will.
LORD, give us the courage to do the right thing, even if we personally do not benefit from it.
