What is a Crackerjack Moment?

            King David is a famous King from the Bible who loved God. On his way to becoming King of Israel he went through many hardships. One hardship was that a tribe of people called the Amalekites came and attacked his home base. His home base had all of the possessions and families belonging to David and his six hundred men. The Amalekites took everything: their wives, children, livestock, and other household goods and fled into a vast, unsearchable desert.

            When David and his men returned home they came back to a nightmare. Their homes had been destroyed, their families and possessions had been taken. The desert outside was huge and there seemed to be no way of finding their stolen families or recovering their stolen goods.

            Every man in David’s group fell to the ground weeping. Out of their anguish, some even talked of killing David. But David found strength in God.

            Out of his faith in God, David mustered his men and had them set out into the desert. He believed that God was a good God and that He would help them recover their stolen goods even though the situation was dark. A little while after they had set out, David’s men found an Egyptian slave, weak and starving in the middle of the desert. They spoke to the slave and found out that, not only had he been with the raiding group, but he knew where to find them! The slave knew the location of all of their women, children and possessions. This was a crackerjack moment for David. God, in all His goodness, placed an Egyptian slave with knowledge to save their families in the middle of David’s path. Because of this moment, David was able to find his family and the families of his men, all their possessions, and recover them all!

            A crackerjack moment is when God surprises you. It is when He answers a prayer unexpectedly and you just cannot believe how good He is!

            God loves to bless His people with moments like this to reveal
