MESSAGE: IT’s NOT OVER
1 Samuel 30:19
Nothing was missing: small or great, son or daughter, nor anything else that had been taken. David brought everything back.
There’s Not a Limit on What God desires to REDEEM
IT’S Not OVER until it’s OVER!
1 Sam 30:21-23
21 Then David returned to the brook Besor and met up with the 200 men who had been left behind because they were too exhausted to go with him. They went out to meet David and his men, and David greeted them joyfully. 22 But some evil troublemakers among David’s men said, “They didn’t go with us, so they can’t have any of the plunder we recovered. Give them their wives and children, and tell them to be gone.” 23 But David said, “No, my brothers! Don’t be selfish with what the LORD has given us. He has kept us safe and helped us defeat the band of raiders that attacked us. 24 Who will listen when you talk like this? We share and share alike—those who go to battle and those who guard the equipment.”
Everybody has a ROLE; Every ROLE has a REWARD!
Romans 12:3 ESV
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
