Shepherd to Sheep
2 Samuel 20:2
"So all the men of Israel withdrew from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah remained steadfast to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem."
The historical books of the bible are littered with accounts of uprising, battle, power struggles and warfare. Like the life of the Christian, all of the above including temptation, serve to throw us off from following the King of Kings. The same battles we see being fought in the time of David, are much the same we see being waged in our lives and those around us today. Beware, know where the we can seek wisdom from the playbook, God's word, enabling us to stay steady in Him.
