1 Chronicles 11:15-47

From the day of his assumption of power, David did not forget his companions of the cave of Adullam. Will the Lord forget those who seek to follow and serve Him down here? We know that is absolutely impossible. At the moment when He was about to give His life for His disciples, and while they were disputing among themselves which of them would be the greatest, what does the Master say to them? "Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me" (Luke 22:28-29).

There is a sort of hierarchy among these mighty men. It does not depend on their physical powers, for all of them are strong men; but on their devotion, whether it is matter of service, as it was for the three brave men who went to draw water, or whether for combat, as with Benaiah. It is the same today among believers. In all Christian circles, some stand out from others because of their zeal and attachment to the Lord. We shall learn about their deeds of valour some day in heaven. Do you not wish to be found among them? "For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1:11).
