S - 2 Samuel 15:21 But Ittai said to the king, “I vow by the Lord and by your own life that I will go wherever my lord the king goes, no matter what happens—whether it means life or death.”
O - Ittai was a foreigner that just arived in Jerusalem before David fled the city as Absolom was coming against him. David told him that he didn't need to come with him as David was unsure of even where he would go to flee from Absolom. This verse is Ittai's response back to David. I don't know the whole story but I can envision that he knew David was a strong man of God and obviously a leader. Because of this he felt that he should stay with him and possibly protect him.
A - The are strong men on God in my life that are leaders, like Tom, Steve, and Pastor Rob. I am committed to defend and protect these men even when the circustances that they may face are not as they would want or hope for. They may be in need of me around them even just to show that I support and believe in them.
P - God, you have put Godly leaders in my life and I thank you for that. Help me to give them the due respect and protection that I can give them to encourage and strengthen them. Help me to rise to also be a Godly leader that can influence many other people for the good of your kingdom. Bless my family and me today and I pray the blood of Jesus over us all.
