Everyone wants to go with a winner. The balance of this chapter shows the support and depth of that support for David as all of Israel unites under one king. David was already king of Judah and thus the other components of Israel would now rally behind their new king. Even Saul's family came to rally behind David. By joining forces, the 12 tribes of Israel became a nation for a common goal and a common good. The men were sent by their families and were given food and supplies as a sign of support. I read on a FB post that we here in America treat our illegals better than those who have fought and served this country - how true and how sad. This country needs help desperately from a morals and morale standpoint. When a President supports same-sex marriages, he is undermining the very nature of Scripture and the very basis by which this country is founded. One can gather support by doing what is "popular" but it doesn't make it right. When one is attacking the essence of hard working people by penalizing them (taxation) and redistributing the wealth to those who choose to beat the system and are inclined not to work is just wrong. We truly need to return the "basics of life" but we've become a people seeking entitlements and undue rewards. Even at work, I hear of people trying to use their position to "put one over" on everyone while making them suffer in return. Somethings never, ever change.
Heading home today and will work out of Princeton so I can attend my niece's graduation and a minor league baseball game that night. Should be nice weather to enjoy it. Saturday we'll be seeing Ghost in NYC and that should be fun as well. Just wish these allergies would go away!
Praise for today: Because you are my help, I sing in the shadows of your wings, My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Ps. 63:7-8
