Joab’s Revenge

Reading 2 Samuel 3:20-39 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Human tendency of justifying actions as though you are helping someone else when it is actually self-serving. The need to continually surrender our will be done for the LORD’s. Abner could see the writing on the wall when Asahel was chasing him. Through all the messes people create, God continues to do what God does and works all things for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purposes. Abner’s death helped all the people see David as a leader who could unify Israel even in such a circumstance. The victory already belongs to the LORD, the journey there is messy.
