31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
33 Of
Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of
war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
A closer look at the text for
today which proceeds that of yesterday, will reveal unto us some of the amazing
reasons why David succeeded in his call as the captain and King of Israel. It
is one thing to have people identify with you and another to have the right set
of persons with you.
A crowd is not an assurance of
success in life, it is the content of their character and purpose in life that
determines how far they can go with you.
A careful look at verse 31 will
clearly reveal the mission of those who came to be with David. They were not
men of selfish agenda and they were not trying to accomplish their own vision
out of David's vision. Rather, their calling was in helping David become King.
This was repeated in different verses in this passage, and it is obvious that
these men fulfilled their life’s calling, as evidences abound that they
accomplished that assignment.
I am sure that these men occupy a
special place in heaven because the Lord made sure that their names were
documented and given a special recognition in the scriptures for doing the will
of the Lord in their generation.
For all who are able to recognize
their calling, who are wise enough to locate their place and stay there to help
accomplish the purpose of heaven in their generation, I am confident that they
will also be honored and rewarded by our heavenly Father for helping to make
His agenda become reality.
Are you in the will and calling of God for your
life? Think about this.
