You have always had that inclination to lean on God and so many people have gained faith over the years from seeing that in your life. Great assumption Debbie.

Maybe they hoped the soldiers there would help? Maybe they were considering how to get the guards to let them in to care for the body of their friend/son/leader? Whatever their practical concerns, when they arrived at their destination, their problem was taken care of....and they had a huge blessing, of the eternally valuable sort. A practical application for me today from this passage is that instead of wondering about my practical future...who will move the stone at the entrance of my next task....I think that I should assume that God has already taken care of that. I just need to keep headed toward His presence and there will be a messenger to tell me that God has done exactly as He has promised.
