SHARED: “You share in Christ's victory.” 1 Samuel 30:24

But some mean and worthless men who had gone with David said, "They didn't go with us, and so we won't give them any of the loot. They can take their wives and children and go away." David replied, “No, my brothers, you must not do that with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiding party that came against us. Who will listen to what you say? Who will listen when you talk like this? We share and share alike—those who go to battle and those who guard the equipment.” David made this a statute and ordinance for Israel from that day to this. 1 Samuel 30:22–25

Praise & Prayer:
Less like me and more like Jesus. I praise You, Lord God, for protecting me and for allowing me to share in Christ’s glorious victory over sin, death, and the evil one. Please deliver me from selfishness and create in me a generous heart, as David demonstrated, that recognizes and values the contributions of others, whether small or great, seen or unseen. Holy Spirit, counsel me to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Instead, teach me to walk in humility by valuing others above myself. Give me eyes to see that every person in the body of Christ matters, especially those whom people consider insignificant, weak, or useless. Don't let me miss opportunities today to share the gracious gifts I have received from God by showing acts of kindness to the people You place in my path. I ask this in Jesus’ mighty name.
