"Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor....So his armorbearer said to him, 'Do all that is in your heart. Go then; here I am with you, according to your heart.' .........And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees, with his armorbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them ....That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about a half an acre of land."
I Samuel 14:6a, 7, 13-14
It's hard to be a no-name. The armorbearer was every bit as brave and involved in this victory as Jonathan. Yet he is not named, despite the fact that the Bible is filled with the names of many other illustrious people – both good and bad. The ministry of helps is just as important as the person who is the leader, but don't expect the crowd to remember your name when you play second fiddle.
Today's Thought: God remembers my name even if people don't.
Have an "unknown" day. Love you.
