“Hungry, Thirsty, Weary in the Wilderness”

October 2, 2018

“Hungry, Thirsty, Weary in the Wilderness”

Blessings folk!

David was fleeing.
Absalom was pursuing.

The following Scripture shows a couple of things…

Family relations.
Provision for David and his people.

2 Sa 17:24-29

Then David came to Mahanaim.
And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab.
Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite,
who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

And Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

brought beds, basins, pottery, wheat, barley, flour, parched grain, beans, lentils, parched seeds,

honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, to eat; for they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”

Absalom appointed a family member, Amasa, over the army.

Mahanaim, Machir and Barzillai brought provision and supplies for David and the people.

The Lord provided.

He still does…
