We all know of the David who as a boy defeated Goliath the enemy of Israel with a sling and a stone and also the David who conquered many kings and became king over all Israel.I know you know many more such David's heroic stories from the bible.How many times it has been preached in churches and we know it all or at least so we thought!
But how many of you have heard of this David in1 Samuel22:2 "All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him."
I had never heard someone preach this nor known it till the Lord opened my eyes to see this great quality and initial leadership of David-he had three groups of people who gathered to him -the distressed, the discontended and those in debt and he became their leader.
Not many of us like to be seen or associate with such.But that is where God looks at-our hearts and our motives, if seeking glory for ourselves or be a help to the helpless in our leadership.God wants us to be such leaders who care for the helpless, the widows, the needy, be a voice to the downtrodden...........He wants us to be leaders of such rather than "glamour-seeking" leaders.
