2 Samuel

What does faithful leadership look like when the pressure is real and the outcome is uncertain? In 2 Samuel 10:12, Joab’s words before battle provide a concise but powerful picture of faithful action and surrendered outcomes, marked by courage, purpose, trust, and potentially costly obedience. This five-day devotional reflects on Joab’s battlefield exhortation and draws out its implications for Christian leadership today.
