1 Sam 22:1-2 So David left there and escaped to the cave Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father’s households heard it, they went down there to him . And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented , gathered around him and he became their leader. And about four hundred men were with him.
David had been through a lot. The highs of immediate fame and marriage, to dangers from the Philistines and Saul with repeated attempts on his life, making him a fugitive .A moment of rest reckons in the cave of Adullam, David’s place of refuge. But even at such humble habitation, David is able to attract about four hundred men. Although they were weak, he was able to transform them to a strong battalion. David didn’t go for them,they sought him.
Why do some people attract opportunities ,success, breakthrough and victory while others keep chasing them without success ? God’s presence in David’s life was his magnetic field drawing those within his vicinity to himself.
This can become our possession today. *If you spend time chasing butterflies ,they’ll fly away, if you spend your time making beautiful garden,the butterflies will come to you – anonymous
Attraction saves the chasing energy.
