EQUAL SHARES FOR ALL
"Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike." 1Samuel 30:24
Most people are naturally selfish and greedy. They will not share even when they have resources in abundance. When David went after the Amalekites for recovery after his town Ziklag was attacked, 200 men were severely exhausted and were left behind. 400 men went with him. Among the 400 were evil men and trouble makers who refused to share the spoil with their brethren upon return. David could not watch this happen, so, he gave an order that later became the rule.
The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. The spoil will be equally shared amongst all the soldiers regardless of whether they went to battle or they stayed. This is a rule of love.
Love does not consider contribution on sharing. Both the weak and the strong dispite their different contributions got the same share. Because of love, the strong help the weak, the rich help the poor. Different contributions but same share. The rule of love.
in love.
