Day 218..."David becomes king...Mighty men..."yes" and "no" answers"

We read in I Chronicles, chapter 11, of David's becoming king. One of the different twists of I Chronicles is David's "mighty men." There is an inner circle of three and then thirty for the mighty men. The mighty men were described as talented..."They were bowmen and could shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or the left hand." David enjoyed support..."all the rest of Israel were of a single mind to make David king."
Isaiah 21 focuses on the fall of Babylon...“Fallen, fallen is Babylon;and all the carved images of her god she has shattered to the ground.” The "parable of the two sons" is an interesting story about commitment. One son said "yes" but meant "no." The other said "no" but meant "yes". It is far better to say "no" and then act in the "yes" than to say "yes" and then act in the "no". I have know many saints in the church which have come through... even after initially saying no. Thank God that people change minds and follow God.
