yours at the Brook Besor

yesterday was good.
met jaclyn up for sharing with yixuan.
honestly, during the sharing i was angry.
not with yixuan for not recieving Christ.
but with the devil how he have us blinded.
yixuan is not just another number.
not just another soul.
but my friend.
a friend i love.
that's the key.
i'll be praying.





read this chapter from 'Facing Your Giants'.
this chapter about the Brook Besor.(1 samuel 30:9-10)
David and his men were on their way to defeat their enemy.
their enemy captured all their wives and children.
of course they'll be anxious to save them.
and God promised them victory.
but at Brook Besor, 200 men decided to rest, and asked the rest to go on without them.
yup, the battle was won by David.

imagine that....
the rescued wives will start looking for their husbands.
only to find their husbands resting at Brook Besor.
the rescuers were unwilling to share what they have with those who rested.
it's only fair.

but david dignifies their decision to stay as 'guarding supplies'(1 sam 30:23-24).

it's okay to rest.
Jesus is your david.
He fights when you cannot.
He goes where you cannot.
He is not angry if you sit.
Brook Besor blesses rest.

are you weary? catch your breath.
are you strong? reserve passing judgement on the tired.
chances are you'll need to plop down yourself.
Brook Besor blesses rest.


"Come off by yourself; let's take a break and get a little rest" (Mark 6:31; MSG)
