#soap # 2 Samuel 17 ## Title: Leave the Impossible With God ## Scripture: (2 Samuel 17:29) honey, curds, flocks, and cheese. For they said, “The people are no doubt hungry, tired, and thirsty there in the desert.” (NET) ## Observation: There are so many things going on. David needs a miracle. He doesn’t know it yet, but one is brewing. Things are being set into motion and help is on the way. While all of this is happening, David travels and meets this family. If they could, I am sure this family would make all of David’s problems go away, not just for his sake but for the sake of the nation. However, they can’t. They don’t have that power. But, they can do something. They can provide rest and a place of relative safety while God does the miracles. This is a great gift we can be for people. We cannot do the impossible and work miracles with our own strength. That is not what God asks of us. He asks us to do what we can. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give others is a place of peace to rest their weary souls. ## Application: Be a place of rest and peace for someone today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being the ultimate place of peace for us.
