 11.14-

S.W.O.B.M.

There are moments when we wish for for things that we know are not meant to be. On the other hand there are things we mention that would be great to have but don't expect to have because to get them is probably impossible.

Think of times that your family or friends provided you with something that so sweet it was at the edge of your imagination. S.W.O.B.M.

Once David wished for some sweet water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem. Not probably possible because it was surrounded by enemy soldiers. David's mighty men took their lives into their own hands to get a drink of water for their beloved leader. They did it. When David got it, he was moved to not drink it but to pour it out as a gift to God.

Moment.

Was there a moment like this for you?

A wedding.

A birth.

A honored vocational recognition.

A few friends did for you what seemed impossible.

Your surgery and rehab worked.

Your transplant worked.

2 Samuel 23.

13 Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David at harvest time to the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the Valley of Rephaim. 14 David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 15 And David had a craving and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!” 16 So the three mighty men forced their way into the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and carried it and brought it to David. Yet he would not drink it, but poured it out as an offering to the Lord; 17 and he said, “Far be it from me, Lord, that I would do this! Should I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
