1 Chronicles: Readings and the Thoughts that followed

1 Chronicles 11:21 ~ He was the most renowned of the thirty and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
  • This verse is speaking of a solider named Abishai in David army.  Just before this verse David's Three Mighty Men are introduced.  Abishai had great deeds of valor as well, but he did not earn a spot among the 3.
  • I can imagine most of us would be extremely upset if we had killed 300 men with out spear and remained in a lesser position than other men, but I admire Abishai for doing his best (which was remarkable) and accepting his place in service to the king.
  • I think we could learn from Abishai and strive to do our best, and accept our place in service to The King. 12/11/17
