SOLD OUT TO GOD

2Samuel 23:15-16

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.

David was thirsty and he desired to drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem. However, at that moment, this well was surrounded by the philistine army who were camping in that area. Without specifically sending any of his men, three of David’s men decided on their own to carry out this desire. Thus, they fought their way through the philistine army, fetched the water and fought their way back to give the water to David. David was so shocked and touched by the efforts of these men that he poured out the water as a sacrifice unto God.

Why do you think these men were so committed to David? It must have been because these men understood and greatly appreciated the things that David had done for them. They must have been among the people who came to David when they were down and out and David raised a mighty army out of them, (1Sam.22:1-2). David had transformed their lives and given them hope and they had become sold out to him. They were ready to risk their lives for him and remain loyal to him unto the end.

This story gives us a little picture of being sold out to God. When we understand and appreciate all God has done for us in Christ, we will be sold to Him.

Action Point:
Meditate on the goodness and mercy of God to you and thank Him for all He has done for you in Christ.
