Armor bearer and Attitudes

When we read 1 Samuel 16:21, we sense a significant event in David and Saul’s lives: “And David came to Saul, and stood before him and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.” This word armor bearer is something virtually unknown to the Body of Christ. God is stirring up men today to be called to be the position of armor bearers to the church leaders. What is an armor bearer and what does he do?  We see in the Old Testament that the armor bearer was a person highly responsible, being a protector and servant, carrying his master’s shield into battle. Seeing to the safety of his leader, the armor bearer had an awesome responsibility. The armor bearer had an order to his life that revolved around his leader. God intends for us to have our priorities in order, so our prayer should be that God will touch our hearts and minds and do that for each of us.
