Day 217
I Chronicles 12:22
"For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God."
David was being pursued by King Saul, who wanted to kill him. The Bible says men kept coming to David every day, until he had a great host of them. These men had come to fight with him and for him. They were not recruited by David. It appears that God had touched their hearts, because David was right in his heart before God. He depended on the Lord for His help.
The scripture said the men were like the host of God. It is impossible for there to have been enough men to compare to the host of God in number. However, they were like the host of God, in that they were gathered by God to defend His man. He ordained them for the specific purpose of helping David.
When we are right in our hearts toward God and are fulfilling His purpose for our lives, we can call upon Him for help in the time of need. He will gather aid from near and far. If we need people, He will send them from different places, and they will possibly not know each other. They will respond to the leading of the Lord, coming to our aid. God does not change. We must be confident of that. When we are fully persuaded about God's commitment to support His own; our energies will be directed toward ascertaining the mind of God, not coming up with our own support. Support will be easy to get, once we know beyond doubt that we are on target with the will of our Lord.
I will exert more effort to ascertain the mind of God for my endeavors. Once I know what God wants, I will rest in the fact that He supports all His projects and the assurance that His resources are unlimited.
