The Brook of Expectation

GM. This is Soul Food, your bible training camp – building your faith muscles one insight at a time.

🚨🚨🚨 Here’s what’s on the radar today:

Last week, we spoke about David and his men—how they lost everything and recovered it all. But there’s another gem in that story!

Two hundred of David’s men were too exhausted to carry on, so they stayed behind at a place called Brook Besor. In Hebrew, Besor means “the brook of expectation.”

So they waited at the brook of expectation. This reminds us that when you’re feeling low, when it seems like everything is lost and you have nothing left to give, you must wait with expectation. Waiting doesn’t mean giving up. It means believing that God will turn things around.

The other four hundred men went on and recovered everything—and when they returned, David made sure the spoils were shared equally. The ones who waited still received the reward.

A brook is a stream of flowing water. And Jesus is called the River of Life. So when you’re waiting at Brook Besor, you’re waiting by the River of Life. You’re waiting with Jesus. And that kind of waiting is not wasted time.

Let God fight while you sit. Let Him move while you rest. The hottest part of the day is when God is outside, fighting for you!

Waiting is not weakness. It’s faith in motion. Wait at Brook Besor. Wait at the brook of expectation.

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• Waiting in faith is not wasted—it’s powerful and purposeful.

• Even those who didn’t fight shared in the victory.

• God meets us in our exhaustion and rewards those who trust Him.
