“The king said to Yo’av, All right, I am granting this request. Go, and bring back young Avshalom.”
2 Samuel 14:21 CJB

David really made mistakes with Avshalom. One, as a Dad, he should have spent more time with him, but also he should have been held accountable for the murder of Amnon! When we blow it God is gracious and forgives, but the choices we make have consequences!

“For what one earns from sin is death; but eternal life is what one receives as a free gift from God, in union with Messiah Yeshua, our LORD.”
Romans 6:23 CJB

Understand what we reap is what we sow! All our actions have consequences! So what do we do? Pray before we speak and do!

“My eyes are always directed toward Adonai, for He will free my feet from the net.”
Psalm 25:15 CJB

Adonai has freed us from sin, so don’t get caught up in its nets, but instead seek Adonai and pray for understanding and direction! Remember decisions have consequences!
Have a blessed day seeking Adonai!

“As for Avshalom, he refused to say a word to Amnon, either good or bad; for Avshalom hated Amnon for having raped his sister Tamar.”
2 Samuel 13:22 CJB

Honestly this is where Avshalom, should have left it there and moved on! But this is how hatred and sin works. It just keeps producing more anger and more hatred towards one another! Hate never produces anything good! But in Yeshua we will always have peace and love!

“What I am leaving with you is Shalom-I am giving you my Shalom, I don’t give the way the world gives. Don’t let yourselves be upset or frightened.”
John 14:22 CJB

Where do we find good? In Yeshua! Peace, love and good will always be found in Yeshua not in the world!

“For the sake of my family and friends, I say, Shalom be within you!”
Psalm 122:8 CJB

If you don’t have SHALOM (peace) in your life, it is because you hold on to bitterness and resentment instead of forgiveness and kindness!
So let’s share about Yeshua who is the prince of peace!

“His servants asked him, What are you doing? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat food!”
2 Samuel 12:21 CJB

What an amazing concept, David was praying and fasting while the child was alive and could be saved, but when the child died David moves on!
Ask yourself, do we hold onto things once things have passed or situations are over? Or do we move on?

“He answered, While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; because I thought, Maybe Adonai will show His grace to me and let the child live.”
2 Samuel 12:22 CJB

Well this didn’t happen and David accepted God’s perfect will and moved on! This is something we all should try to do accept the will of God and learn to move on!

“Stop dwelling on past events and brooding over times gone by; I am doing something new; it’s springing up-can’t you see it? I am making a road in the desert, rivers in the wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:18-19 CJB

So don’t get caught up with past events you can’t change! Instead look to your future in Yeshua, which is filled with hope and a future in Him!
May your day be richly blessed!

“David sent messengers to get her, and she came to him, and he went to bed with her (for she had been purified from her uncleanness). Then she returned to her house.”
2 Samuel 11:4 CJB

The main point being made here is they are both guilty of adultery! Sin often takes two people and both are guilty, then it become cancerous, infecting other people!

“When you see a thief, you join up with him, you throw in your lot with adulterers, you give your mouth free rein for evil and harness your tongue to deceit; you sit and speak against your kinsman, you slander your own mother’s son.”
Psalm 50:18-20 CJB

When we hang out with sinners, it starts to become easier to sin! When we hangout with believers, we find forgiveness in Yeshua! So let’s hangout with Yeshua!

“Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased.”
Acts 3:19 CJB

So let’s hang out with Yeshua and His believers. It’s hard to sin when we hang out with Yeshua!
Have a blessed day in Yeshua!
Shabbat Shalom!
