Getting Help

May 11, 2008

2 Samuel 10:8-12 ESV
(8) And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate, and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
(9) When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians.
(10) The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites.
(11) And he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
(12) Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what seems good to him."

When the battle is raging is not the time to start looking for teammates. You need to plan for the problems before they happen. Survey the situation and make your plans ahead of time. This will allow you to get the help you need, be it from man, or to get down on your knees before God.
