Benaiah
January 13, 2025
Have you ever had a day where you felt you were facing a lion in a pit? Trapped in a circumstance and sure you’d lose? Take courage from Benaiah. He was in a pit with a lion. 2 Samuel 23:20 ‘Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.’
Have you ever been in that pit and things got worse? Snowed while you were already in a bad circumstance. The meanings of three words tells how Benaiah overcame.
Jehoiada, God knows. Two generations before, God knew every facet of the challenge.
Kabjeel, gathered.
Benaiah, built by God. Benaiah prevailed through God.
