*Day 122/365 (May 2) PORTIONS TO READ*:
*Absalom's advisor*
David's prayer and praise - Psalm 22:19-31
Man's wickedness - Psa.14:1-7, 53:1-6
David and Hushai - 2 Samuel 15:31-37
David and Ziba - 2 Sam.16:1-4
Shimei curses David - 2 Sam.16:5-14
David cries to God - Psa.39:1-13
Absalom enters Jerusalem - 2 Sam.16:15-23
Ahithopel and Hushai advise Absalom - 2 Sam.17:1-14
David escapes - 2 Sam.17:15-24
*A thought*:
How do you feel when you are ridiculed or abused? David did not allow Shimei's cursing to provoke him to anger, but viewed it as a "divine reproof". How much easier it is to stand up to life when we can make all things serve!
*Week #18 Memory Verse*:
Isaiah 48:17
This is what the Lord says - your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: 'I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.'
