2 Samuel 23
Inspired thots
v 5 "Is not my house right with God? Has he not made with me an everlasting covenant, arranged and secured in every part? Will He not bring to fruition my salvation and grant me my every desire?"
What a THOUGHT PROVOKING Question! But it is really more a DECLARATION than a question because David was SURE of his house's condition with God.
At the end of his life, he is able to proclaim that he has WALKED RIGHTLY with God because he knew God to be a Righteous God; taking after his God, David was righteous in all his ways.
Hence, the chapter lists his mighty men who acted righteously; they were accounted for righteousness more than valiance. Joab, David's commander who killed thousands, was not listed because he did not have a righteous heart before God. Yes, he acted 'well' but in man's sight and ways; not God's.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
