Trust God
“Amasa took no notice of the sword in Yoav’s hand, so Yoav stabbed him in the groin. His insides poured out on the ground, and he died without being stabbed a second time. Yoav and Avishai his brother continued in pursuit of Sheva the son of Bikhri.”
2 Samuel 20:10 CJB
As bad as this may seem, we need to understand and see that Amasa was never going to be loyal to David! Good or bad, David was anointed by God to be king so rebellion to David is rebellion towards God!
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will praise the name of Adonai our God.”
Psalm 20:7 CJB
We all need to be careful of trusting in things that are corrupt, falling into trusting man’s logic or ways! The ways of God are always going to be different than our ways!
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways, says Adonai.”
Isaiah 55:8 CJB
Even though we may not agree with political leaders or our present situation, but remember God is in control, so let’s be loyal to Him!
Have a blessed day trusting in Yeshua!
2 Samuel 13-19
Be on guard!
“Meanwhile, the king covered his face and cried aloud, Oh, my son Avshalom! Oh, Avshalom, my son, my son!”
2 Samuel 19:5 CJB
David took mourning to a very foolish level here! He shows more compassion for Avshalom, who wanted nothing more than to kill him than his son who died at birth! He also had less compassion for the people who stood by him while he was hunted and the people we getting disheartened!
“Yoav went inside to the king and said, Today you made your servants feel ashamed. They saved your life today, and the lives of your sons, daughters, wives and concubines.”
2 Samuel 19:6 CJB
Do we get so self absorbed that we forget others? We see this happening all around us, people losing their minds over people and situations regardless of how bad they may be hurting their own families and friends!
“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB
Be alert and on guard. The enemy is out there stirring up trouble, making people act crazy and do things that are completely out of the norm! Remember, Satan is a deceiver and a troublemaker!
So keep your eyes on Yeshua!
