This week\u2019s passage is 2 Samuel 16:15-17:23. The picture is painted of David\u2019s heart and faith in the LORD. David didn\u2019t just quit even though his family rebelled against Him. Though God\u2019s purposes prevail, we must put one foot in front of the other, we must keep going. Absalom\u2019s hair and vanity sets up his downfall as his hair traps him in a tree. \xa0The 20,000 men that lost their lives because of this rebellion, the ripple effect of sin and selfishness. Korah\u2019s rebellion in Numbers 16. Being critical of leadership often just leads to division, conflict, and rebellion. When we demand our we, rejecting God\u2019s plan and purposes, it does not go well. Joab having enough of Absalom and the whole situation. Giving up their own life was required for reconciliation, but people don\u2019t find that road on their own. In the middle of the mess, remember it\u2019s not the end of the story.
