"Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God" (1 Chronicles 12: 22)

When we learn of Ziklag, we learn of the promise of restoration. Ziklag was a place where God reached out to David and reassured him of the calling God had for his life, even when he himself lost sight of it, under the heavy burden of trials that overwhelmed him. The threats were real, fear was real, trials were real... still God's control and sovereign plan over his life was real too. It is even said, that God increased the military power of David, that his army became to be 'like the army of God' (v.22).

God reaches out to us too... it might be when we least expect it, it might be when our eyes are too blurry to see the visions in front of us. God moves us... because His plans for us are good.

Stay encouraged. Our LORD will be strong for us!
