Tim - 2 Samuel 23:16

So the three warriors broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it and poured it out to the Lord. (2 Samuel 23:16 CEB)
 Tim lead us in our devotion this morning.  

What has been like water from Bethlehem for you recently?  Relationships, your home, your things that make life convenient ..... Blessings from God are beautiful and fill our lives with joy,  but we can become clingy to those blessings and keep it all to ourselves.  Instead David shows us what we should do with that "water" (blessings) !!!  We need to sacrifice them! Give them back, pass them on, pour them out !!!   

We get sour when we TAKE  for ourselves and have not recognized whose hand it comes from and what He calls us to do with it.  We become people walking around as if we are entitled to all we have.  Ouch.  

Consider "your water" this morning.....and share it, pour it out!!!
