Day 137: 2nd Samuel 16-18

Today on Meditating the Word, Ziba brings supplies to David and his followers, Shimei curses David, Ahithophel and Hushai give conflicting advice to Absalom, Absalom is killed in the forest, and David mourns his son.

This is Day 137. Today we are reading 2nd Samuel 16-18

Father God, the mercy of David... we saw it with Saul, who was David's enemy, yet David still treated him with respect and wouldn't strike him. And we see it with his son Absalom, who conspired against his father to take the throne of Israel. Yet, we know that the love David showed pales in comparison to your love for us. We rebelled against you. We try to take your throne and be the lord of our own lives. Yet, you love us still. Enough to send Jesus to die for us so that we can live. Thank you, Father, for loving us.  Amen
