“You have condemned yourself,” David said, “for you yourself confessed that you killed the Lord’s anointed one.”

How I weep for you, my brother Jonathan! Oh, how much I loved you! And your love for me was deep, deeper than the love of women!

“God only knows what would have happened if you hadn’t spoken, for we would have chased you all night if necessary.” 28So Joab blew the ram’s horn, and his men stopped chasing the troops of Israel.

Now is the time! For the Lord has said, ‘I have chosen David to save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and from all their other enemies

This pleased the people very much. In fact, everything the king did pleased them!

Lord God my Father,

Help me to release your plan to play out as you designed it without changing it to my understanding. May I grow a love greater than anything I can understand so Your will is my guide. Use me as you will and allow me to please you in all areas of my life.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
