Who helped you?

1 Samuel 30:26-31 YLT
(26) And David cometh in unto Ziklag, and sendeth of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, (saying, `Lo, for you a blessing, of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah),'
(27) to those in Beth-El, and to those in South Ramoth, and to those in Jattir,
(28) and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,
(29) and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites,
(30) and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-Ashan, and to those in Athach,
(31) and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David had gone up and down, he and his men.


No one person does anything himself. It takes many working together to accomplish something. Often, people will support something and not ever be noticed by the population at large. In cases like that, when someone becomes asuccess it is easy to forget who helped to get them were they are. Not so with David. Even though he was still be hunted down by Saul, and before he had become King, he took time to repay the people who had helped him on his way to where he was when he had some limitedsuccess.

Take some time to reflect today to look back at those who helped you to be just who you are. If some of those people are still alive, why not drop them a word of thanks. It will make them feel so much better (and you also).
