—1 Samuel 30:21-25
by: Jasmine Lynch.
David, a godly leader, showed compassion, generosity, and justice. He valued everyone. Victory belongs to all of God’s people—both the activists and the supporters. The two hundred men who did not go to rescue the captives were tired. David agreed for them to stay, but then the men who went became selfish and wanted all the loot for themselves. In Matthew 5:45, we read that God “makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (NKJV). David understood that everyone suffers in a war and divided the spoil equally.
