day no. 14,680: men upon whom the King can count

1 Chronicles 12:8
From the Gadites there went over to David at the stronghold in the wilderness mighty and experienced warriors, expert with shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were swift as gazelles upon the mountains.

Strong, battle-tested, proven, professional, courageous, confident men in the service of their king.

1 Chronicles 12:32-33
32 Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command. 33 Of Zebulun 50,000 seasoned troops, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war, to help David with singleness of purpose.

Men with eyes wide-open and minds full of wisdom who know what's up and what's going down.

Men efficient in purpose and proficient in wars of all kinds.

Men who know what's really going on and how to actually win the wars instead of getting sidetracked into skirmishes and smokescreens.

May we be men of this kind, character and consistency for King and for kingdom.
