2 Samuel 15:21 - New loyalty

But Ittai replied to the king, “As surely as the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be.”

David's son was conspiring against him, so he decides to leave his city. Hundreds of soldiers and people go with him, even a group of 600 people who had just recently arrived from another country. David tells the group to stay, they "didn't have a dog in this fight," but the group was loyal to David regardless of what happened. When we are a new Christian, we may not understand everything, but new loyalty can be strong loyalty.

Lord, thank you for knowing what is right for us. Please help us to trust you, no matter of how long we have been your follower. Amen.
