Summary: We have seen David as a man after God's own heart. Today we see how David's devotion to the Lord stimulated loyalty and bravery in the people around him. When we see people, we often see what's behind them. When people saw David, they saw a fierce love that spurred them to action. In this story, we see mighty men experience spontaneous joy in doing something for a friend - not because of some expected reward, but because they knew it would be pleasing to the Father. When we go out on whims for God, people notice. Jesus gave it all for us. What are we willing to pour out for others? Will we be passive or will we be mighty men and women, doing small acts with great love simply for the sake of bringing glory to our God?
