LAST WORDS OF DAVID – 4
April 30, 2023DAVID – HIS SAFETY AND SECURITY
May 2, 2023David, of the all the people in Israel, knows very well, what will happen to those who are rebellious, and walk in the other direction of God’s law. They will surely be destroyed. There are no two thoughts about it in David’s mind and heart.
David writes about rebellious people and their destiny in 2 Samuel 23:6-7, in the context of God’s covenant – “6 But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away, for they cannot be taken with the hand; 7 but the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire.”
David is very clear about the consequences of being rebellious against God. He would rather run to God to be corrected by God, and not run away from God. David believed with all his heart –“10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.” – Psalms 84:10
May we also make God our refuge and always run to Him. May we always desire to walk in the ways of the LORD our God.
