David's Escape

Published: Sept. 20, 2023, 9 a.m.

This week’s passage is 2 Samuel 15:13-37. The picture of David’s great faith in the LORD. God said that the rebellion would happen.  David owning the consequences of his sin. David cared more for the people and the city than for his position.  Laying it all down, letting go, is the cost of being a disciple. David letting go of his home and the Ark. God’s faithfulness seen in the people who remained loyal to David. The hope we have is the same hope David had, that God does not just sweep life away but makes ways to bring us back to Himself. There is nothing compared to the presence of God.
