Today's Reading
2 Samuel: God always accomplishes His purposes. David had sinned and was being judged. David had failed to discipline his sons and was facing open rebellion. Yet, David was still God's anointed and a man after God's heart. God would protect David through this, but David had to learn painful lessons. God deals with us the same way.
John: I find it amazing how we can look on this scene with joy because of our historical perspective. Jesus, the Son of God, died on a cruel cross and it we rejoice. Why? Because He took our sins and made it possible for us to have life. Hold on -- Sunday's coming!
Psalm 119: God is always near and His Word teaches us His character. The more we walk with Him, the more that character shines through us.
Proverbs: the type of leader who leads with integrity expects nothing less from those he leads.

2 Sam seems so sad to me. I can only imagine the emotional pain that David went through, fighting his own son.
