Psalm 142

When Saul the King was chasing after David , he escaped and ended in a cave called Adullam. David was emotionally down.

 v4. Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

David was feeling so lonely. No one cares for my soul. Today so many people live in loneliness.
even though they might have family, but no one cares for them. 
Today it is all about virtual. Wife and husband might be on the same bed, but the husband will be sending messages on whatsapp to his friends, and wife will be sending whatsapp messages.when some thing funny comes on whatsapp group they will laugh. I
Facebook, if some one follows you find a neighbor if someone unfollows you you are in depression,  if some body likes you are excited, if someone disliked you are depressed. Today the whole world is so lonely.

Story of 3 friends.

 David was a lonely man in Adullam Cave. What kind of people approached him.
people in Debt, discontented.
1 Samuel 22:1


David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it,they went down there to him. 2 And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. 

and he became Captain over them.
When you are down you need someone who is stronger.

A CEO is as good as his team.
A leader is as good as his team.
Any leader of an organization wants smart, brilliant people for the success of company.

Not in the Bible.

The Way God operates is entirely different from the way world operates is .
David became a CEO of the company of debt people, people are completely down.

When Gideon comes with thousands of people, God asks Gideon to cut down the size and brings down to 300

When the Lord choses disciples, he didnt go to Gamaliel university and see who are the best brains in this university and chose them.

Even here God leads David to become CEO of people who dont have anything to offer.

In Christian life, it is all about God.

But how do these leaders run these organizations, like David, like Jesus.

I cried out to You, O Lord:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.

They know how to cry.
The day , they spend time with the needy, and when alone they cry out to God.
God blesses you to bless who are in need.
In Gospels, Lord Jesus says when you give a feats , invite poor, blind, lame and give the feast.

12 Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he could not move about freely because of Saul the son of Kish. And they were among the mighty men who helped him in war. 2 They were bowmen and could shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or the left hand
