Philanthropic Leadership

“All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader.” (1 Samuel 22:2)

David escapes from the pursuit of Saul. Although he is still on the run and very much in danger, his presence draws the distressed and discontented to him and he becomes their leader.

Even before becoming king, David displays strong leadership. I am captured by who David leads and I am reminded of who God has called me to lead. I too have been "anointed to preach good news to the poor...to proclaim freedom fo r the prisoners...to release the oppressed." (Luke 4:18-19)
