2 SAMUEL 13:1-39<\/p>\n
THE SORROW OF DAVID<\/p>\n
This is chapter filled will the terrible actions of Ammon, the son of David.\u00a0 His actions were so horrid that it drove his brother Absalom to plot his murder. David is left in sorrow, the loss of his sons.\u00a0 How could this have come upon him?\u00a0 Was this the results of his own actions?
\nHas David’s past returned to haunt him.\u00a0 His own sins of adultery and murder.<\/p>\n
Through scripture we are instructed to live holy lives before God\u00a0 We do this by God’s grace. We are to be the salt of the earth and the light in the dark world.\u00a0 Disciples of Christ or examples.\u00a0 We are always being observed, our family, friends, co-workers and others watching us, listening.\u00a0 Even though we may not realize this, there is always someone watching and waiting, to see what we will say of how we will respond to a particular situation\u00a0 Will be be an example of Christ.
\nToday, on national television, I observed a man take a stand for Christ.\u00a0 He had nothing to gain by his statement, in fact he will most likely be ridiculed.\u00a0 He chose to be an example.<\/p>\n
I hope each of us during this time of crisis can be the example, be the light to a very dark world.\u00a0 David failed.\u00a0 His sons prove this.\u00a0 Let’s learn from David, from his failures, to lead us to be examples, true disciples of Christ
\nFrom Psalm 51:
\nCreate in me a pure heart, o GOD
\nand renew a steadfast spirit within me
\nDo no cast me from your presence
\nor take your Holy Spirit from me
\nRestore to me the joy of Your Salvation
\nand grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me
\nThen I will teach transgressors Your ways
\nso that sinners will turn back to you<\/p>\n
Have faith in HIM
