God dropped this verse in my heart for couple of days.
1 Samuel 17:22
David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines and greeted his brothers.
1. He left his things with the keeper of supplies.
Perhaps sometimes, when we are called to do something, we need to leave OUR things behind with the person who can handle them best in order for us to be free, for us to not be tied down with things that would hinder or come against our way. I just realised it at 3.30am that he left the stuff with the keeper of supplies. wow. who else better that could keep our baggages than Jesus? who else better that we could trust?
2. He ran into the battle lines.
Can you imagine little David, running towards the battle line. War zone, usually, aint a pretty or attractive place. It couples with fear, death, injuries and hurts. Note the courage and boldness in David that he not only did not shrink back, but he RAN towards the battle lines.. where's not only his victory is found, but the victory of his country.
He RAN , with passion perhaps. but definitely, with a cause.
What are you doing?
3. He greeted his brothers.
hmmm. submitting to authority.
i think there's more to it than the typical david n goliath story. :) goodness :D :D
