#soap # 2 Samuel 21 ## Title: You Don’t Choose Your Legacy ## Scripture: (2 Samuel 21:22) “These four were the descendants of Rapha who lived in Gath; they were killed by David and his soldiers.” (NET) ## Observation: David was the giant killer. His reign saw the end to the giants of old. This is one of the legacies he is known for, but there is no record that he ever asked for it. The only reason he fought Goliath was to honor the name of the Lord. That single battle started many different things, but it also started something bigger than he imagined. There is no telling what small act of faithfulness will end up defining your life. I have a similar story. When I was in my early 20s, I was visiting a church that had lost their music director. It was just before Easter, so the pastor asked if I could help him get through the holiday. I had no idea what that would begin. Twenty years later, my life is completely different, and that pastor is still one of my dearest friends. ## Application: Don’t miss the chance to do small acts of faithfulness. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for having a plan greater than we can imagine.
