This morning as I study, I was reminded that even mighty men of God will be saved. Yes, they will not always be the one saving, but will be saved themselves. David was saved by Hushai when Absalom was pursuing to kill him. David, as we know, was a mighty man of God and was certainly capable of saving himself. Yet in this moment, he was saved by his friend Hushai who learned of the plot against him and sent to warn and advise him, thereby saving him from this instance.

“¹⁰Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men.” and “¹⁵Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, ‘Thus and so did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so have I counseled. ¹⁶Now therefore send quickly and tell David, “Do not stay tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.”’” – 2 Samuel 17:10 & 15-16 (ESV)

The mighty man of God was saved.

If indeed mighty men of God will be saved in this world, why not us? I have to remember that the LORD cares for the birds and the mighty men the same.

“²⁶Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” – Matthew 6:26 (ESV)

Now, I know that the above was said by Jesus in the context of not being anxious and to know that the LORD provides for all. But here I see also that the LORD’s rescue of for all, even the birds as well as for the mighty men. I have to remember that the LORD cares for us all and that while I may not be the mighty man of God that David was, I am worth the redemption that comes from the LORD and He freely gives it to me.

We may not believe it, but all are worth the redemption that comes from the LORD. Even the mighty men of God who seemingly can save themselves will receive the freely given redemption. All men of God will be saved.

What is your view of the saving of mighty men? Should they fully save themselves? What if we looked at all men and worth the redemption and salvation given freely from God?
