October 3, 2024 - 2 Samuel 14:12-17

 

12  Then the woman said, “Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” He said, “Speak.”  13  And the woman said, “Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in giving this decision the king convicts himself, inasmuch as the king does not bring his banished one home again.  14  We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.  15  Now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid, and your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.  16  For the king will hear and deliver his servant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the heritage of God.’  17  And your servant thought, ‘The word of my lord the king will set me at rest,’ for my lord the king is like the angel of God to discern good and evil. The Lord your God be with you!”

 

As the women leaves she shares that she knows she and her son will be safe and compares her plight to that of the people of God.  She is grateful that the king is able to discern good and even and prays that God will be with the king?

 

We often need help to discern our own part and responsibility in family disagreements and issues?  Do you have someone you trust to be guided by the Word to share the truth in the matter with you?  I urge you to seek “your person” and trust what he/she shares is based on God’s Word/Truth and not just what you desire to hear.  Blessings as you work on your journey of truth seeking, reconciliation, and healing.

In Jesus’ name. Amen! It is

  July 20 –Genesis 47:13-22 Click on link to listen to content of this post: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/M2klJcYOABb Father God, help me be a person who shows concern for others to a point where I am uncomfortable. So often we are willing to help others, but not if it puts us out or causes us work. Help me love unconditionally and act on that love. Joseph spent most of his life with Egyptians, but certainly not in comfort until the last years regarding the famine, but yet he grew to love them to a degree he worked to make their lives better. I pray Father that You help me to love like that. Help me remember to act on the love for others and be Jesus to those around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen! I find this so interesting. Joseph, not an Egyptian, sold into slavery, and imprisoned in Egypt for years because of an Egyptian who lied about him. But here he acted out of great concern for the Egyptians, basically saving their lives. Jospeh looked out for the welfare of
