“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Proverbs 26: 27

Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

We, the bride, the church should not unite with those who do not do the will of the Lord.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that God is powerful to save us, the bride, the church completely.

Next what we are meditating upon is that

2 Samuel 17: 15 – 22

Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so I have advised. 

Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ‘Do not spend this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily cross over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’” 

Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed at En Rogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David. 

Nevertheless a lad saw them and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it. 

Then the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known. 

And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” So the woman said to them, “They have gone over the water brook.” And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. 

Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, “Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you.” 

So David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed over the Jordan. By morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.

In the above-mentioned verses, God for the sake of David commanded to destroy the good advice that Hushai gave Ahithophel, and we saw regarding this. After Hushai gave advice to Absalom he said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so I have advised. Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ‘Do not spend this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily cross over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.’” Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed at En Rogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David. Nevertheless a lad saw them and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it. Then the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known. And when Absalom’s servants came to the woman at the house, they said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” So the woman said to them, “They have gone over the water brook.” And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, “Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you.” So David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed over the Jordan. By morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan. Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father’s tomb.

My dear people, when we meditate upon the above-mentioned words of God, David the servant of God regarding his things how he decided and sent Zadok, Ahimaaz and Hushai to Jerusalem in the same way the Lord is making things happen. Also, the Lord is sending his angels and he is showing us as a pattern how he is safeguarding his children. Also, those who are working against his children how God destroys them with punishment, and we can read this. 

Therefore, my dear people we must not keep any contact with those who do not do the will of the Lord and we must safeguard ourselves. If we are in this manner, we will be able to safeguard our soul. Let us submit in this manner.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
