shammah in the bean field
I read the coolest story. It only spans two verses in the Bible (2 Samuel 23:11-12) so there are not a lot of details. This is it: "One time the Philistines gathered at Lehi and attacked the Israelites in a field full of lentils. The Israelite army fled, but Shammah held his ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory."
Ever feel like Shammah? Alone in a bean field. Where did everyone go? You know what I like about this guy? He was faithful. He hung in there. Stayed true. Did what he came to do. Are you doing something right now that is the right thing to do but you feel like everyone left you? When we are tempted to bail for the sake of fear or failure, we can remember Shammah. Somehow God showed up and turned things around and "brought about a great victory."
