2 Samuel 1-4, War’s Raveges

 “David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, “The Lord bless you because you have shown this kindness to Saul your Lord when you buried him. Now, may the Lord show kindness and faithfulness to you, and I will also show the same goodness to you because you have done this deed. Therefore, be strong  and valiant, for though Saul your Lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.””

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

The fight for power is horrible…division, pride and jealousy are not a good look for anyone.  So much death and destruction in these few chapters and God is in the background.  Even when pain and suffering are all that we can see, God is still working in the background.  Lord, help me trust your plans as You work in the shadows.
