2 Samuel 14, 15
Inspired thots
Joab knew David missed his son Absalom who killed another son Amnon; hence, Joab devised a plan to have David allow Absalom come back but being righteous, David did not want to see Absalom's face until 2 years have passed. He was still mourning for Amnon.
But Absalom's treachery is soon to be revealed. He set Joab's field on fire to have his way; hence, it was to Joab's detriment to have brought Absalom back. Absalom became arrogant and devised to be king by first stealing the people's heart (15:6)
When they took matters into their own hands, they will only experience self destruction and trouble.
Such a difference compared to David who sought the Lord and put Him first in his life. Hence, the Lord was pleased with David.
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! :)
