Here is an
account of those who appeared and acted as David's friends,
while he was persecuted.
No
difficulties or dangers should keep the sinner from coming
to the Savior, nor drive the believer from the path of
duty. Those who break through, and overcome in these
attempts, will find abundant recompense. From the
words of Amasai we may learn how to testify our affection
and allegiance to the Lord Jesus; his we must be thoroughly;
on his side we must be forward to appear and act.
If we are
under the influence of the Spirit, we shall desire to have
our lot among them, and to declare ourselves on their side;
if in faith and love we embrace the cause of Christ, he will
receive, employ, and advance us.
