“David Stayed”

Blessings folk!!

A quick word for the day.

We as believers must do what the Lord tells us to do.

We must be where we are suppose to be.

Read this one verse.

It sets the context for a very familiar story.

I do not want us to lose insight due to familiarity.

2 Sa 11:1

Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle,
that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel,
and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah.
But David stayed at Jerusalem.

In the spring good weather appeared.

It was the time for kings to go to battle.
To resume from the previous “season”.

Note, kings normally led forth.

David did not go.
He stayed in Jerusalem.
Joab and David’s servants with all of Israel went forth.
They had been victorious repeatedly.
They could handle it.

All this “makes sense”, yet, still, David was not where he should have been.

He stayed home.

What possibly could go wrong…?
