But God does not just sweep life away; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him.
When people tried to bow before him, Absalom wouldn’t let them. Instead, he took them by the hand and kissed them. 6Absalom did this with everyone who came to the king for judgment, and so he stole the hearts of all the people of Israel.

How corrupt is our human nature. David shows mercy on Absalom who overthrew David’s reign so David had to run.
How complex is our world even when we pursue God.

Lord God help me to see your truth in this world and give me power to deny satan a foothold in my day.
In Jesus name,
Amen
