Wed. 2 Samuel 14: 1-33 Absalom Returns- Today's Scripture is 2 Samuel 14: 1-33. This passage talks about Absalom returning to Jerusalem. Joab knew that the king’s heart was for Absalom,so Joab sent someone to Tekoa and had a woman brought from there. He told her to pretend you are in mourning,dress in mourning clothes, and don’t use any makeup. Act like a woman who has spent several days crying for a lost loved one. Then she was ordered to go to the king and say what Joab told her too say. She went to the king and fell face down before him and said "Help me king." The king asked what was troubling her. She answered "I am a widow, my husband is dead." She told him that his servants had 2 sons and they go into a fight in the field and there was no one there to stop it. And that one hit the other and killed him. Everyone was going against the one that killed his brother. They want to put him to death. :(
When I have family conflict, I am usually not in it because I am the only child. Whenever I am at my dad's house there's a bunch of conflict. The way I handle it is to try and talk it out and then ask What Would Jesus Do.
