Read Thru the Word 2024 | Today's Lesson

April 27, 2024

Scripture:

2 SAMUEL 12:26-31, 1 CHRONICLES 20:2-3, 2 SAMUEL 13:1-14:33

God Keeps His Word

So, at Absalom’s signal they murdered Amnon.‍

2 Samuel 13:29a

My Takeaways

Something Old

God is a good Father. God fathers discipline their children to teach right from wrong as well as prevent repeated behavior.

The sowing has passed, and the reaping had begun for David.

‍From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own.
2 Samuel 12:10

God forgives sin, disciplines, and restores, but He doesn’t remove consequences.

Do difficult circumstances and discipline:

Create change
Generate anger
Build bitterness
Prevent further sin
Pull me to God
Drive me from God

David repented of his sin with Bathsheba (Psalm 51). His child died. I wonder if David remembered Nathan’s words of discipline.

God disciplines us because He loves us. He uses discipline to reshape us, to mold us so might become like Him.

Something New

Absalom named his daughter after his sister.

He had three sons and one daughter. His daughter’s name was Tamar, and she was very beautiful.
2 Samuel 14:27

Something To Do

Accept God’s discipline. Allow it to do it’s work in me.
