Recruiting

Scripture:

“The Israelites fought constantly with the Philistines throughout Saul’s lifetime. So whenever Saul observed a young man who was brave and strong, he drafted him into his army.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭14:52‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

This verse tells us that throughout Saul’s lifetime, the Philistines were constantly fighting with Israel. It adds this simple little phrase, “whenever Saul observed a young man who was brave and strong, he drafted him into his army.”  Saul was constantly looking for young men who were brave and strong and recruited them and trained them to fight in his army.

Application:

As a pastor and man of God, I need to be better at observing young talent, ministers, etc. and recruiting them and training them for the service of the king.  At this point in my life, I really want to see talent and calling on young people’s lives and invest into them so they may be powerful warriors in God’s kingdom.

Prayer:

Father, help me to observe, recruit and train the next generation of warriors for Your kingdom.  I want to be part of Your process in training young men and women to fulfill Your calling on their lives.  Work in my life to bring this about more and more.

Yours,
Jeff
