2Sa 23:16 So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.
David expressed an almost impossible desire; he longed for the water of the well in Bethlehem. At this time, he was hiding at the cave of Adullam. A Philistine garrison occupied Bethlehem. Three of the mighty men took their leader’s wish as a challenge. They broke through the host of the Philistines at the risk of their lives, fetched the water and brought it to David.
David’s response revealed the depth to which he was moved by his men’s loyalty and bravery. The water from Bethlehem’s well was a very precious gift because of the sacrifice the men made to get it..consequently, it was a fitting sacrifice to God.
Brethren, it is true that the brave do not get everything they go for but the cowards get nothing . We should be more than willing to go for what is rightfully ours. We should join apostle Paul in his declaration, ” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.
