“Weeping, Covered, Barefoot”

“Weeping, Covered, Barefoot”

Blessings folk!

David was fleeing before Absalom.

David had just sent the Ark of the Covenant back.

Remember, he did not want to assume nor presume upon God.

Now, two details…

2 Sa 15:30-31

And David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives,
and wept as he went,
and his head was covered
and he walked barefoot.

Then all the people who were with him
each covered his head
and went up weeping as they went.

Now someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O LORD, I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness.”

David was departing in humility.
He wept.
His head was covered.
He walked barefoot.

He was humble before the people.
He was humble before God.
Even…especially…in times of trials and tribulation…

The people did likewise.

Such is leadership.

Sadly, most of the leadership in the Body of Christ today is not covered in humility.

Arrogance exudes everywhere.

Beware.

When you do not know what is happening…what the Lord is doing…walk in humility.

Then, David was told that Ahithophel was with Absalom.
David petitioned the Lord to make the counsel of Ahithophel as foolishness.
He went to the Lord.

So must we.
