Scripture
1 Samuel 22:2 All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. About 400 men were with him.
Observation
All of the broken and lost people of that area went to be with David. They recognized someone who may lead them out of their problems. The story continues on to let us know that as they followed him God turned them into a valiant group of fighters.
Application
We can be is distress, in debt or discontent and not be on the corner begging for food or money. Every one of us has been in at least one of those places. Without Jesus Christ we will continue to dwell in that area. God is calling us to become a mighty group of valiant fighters. He will lead us to become what He has called us to.
Prayer
Thank you Father for taking may debt of sin upon yourself, for making me content in whatever place I find myself and for relieving my distress. I will follow you all of my life. Amen
