Absalom, David’s son begins to steal the peoples hearts. He meets vulnerable people on their way to see the King and pretends to care for them. His treason ends up with him coming to Jerusalem and being proclaimed as king. As we see King David in this section we observe a man who is certainly by choice and compulsion driving down ‘humility highway.’ David leaves the throne and the ark of God’s presence and ends up back in the wilderness. He is humbled by this trial and yet we see him showing great restraint, self control and resilience. He trusts the Lord and hopes in God’s mercy.Sunday, 7 Nov 2010
