“Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.”
1 Chronicles 12:40 KJV
Neighbors ranging from as far north as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali arrived with donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen loaded down with food for the party: flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep—joy in Israel! All these soldiers came to David at Hebron, ready to fight if necessary; they were both united and determined to make David king over all Israel. It was not David who strove to become king, God arranged it that all Israel came to make David king. Trusting in our own strength and performance is an ineffective way in the Kingdom of God. Trusting in God to make the circumstances happen for His perfect will to be done is the true way. God is a specialist in making the impossible happen, that’s what Jesus said! “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the One Who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Amen!
