2Samuel 7:1
I sincerely wish war was a pleasanter and easier business than it is, but it does not admit of holidays. – A. Lincoln
Lesson: Would you prefer an all round rest to a trooping long life battle? Though it may appear lazy to answer positive, but a rest all round though it be for few years that is peace is better than wars all years. Champions are made not by number of wars but number of peaceful days.
“Now it came to pass that the king dwelt in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies all around.”
King David was a mighty man of war made by God that all his battles were with mighty blows. He won all, if not all, but all. He was never a loser except in the battle against Bathsheba. Now the Lord gave him rest all around. That all around was not exaggerated here. It was plain and true.
Though the most ever peaceful kingdom was that of Solomon, David’s son, and that was when he was with God. Suddenly after his sliding back, he got so many enemies who wanted him down. That’s the same life with the Christian. Emphasis are been made to us, because we have a status to live by and that’s the word of God. We need peace as a fruit part but how does this all round peace emerges? It is and can only be given by God and that’s when our obedience is complete.
FOCUS TODAY: All round rest is not an all day slug or panda sleep, but being at peace with God and man. #fact #focustoday
