Good Morning “Those Who Choose Humble Submission” Today we are in 2 Samuel 8.
He is Lord! Whether or not we accept that as Truth and submit to His Lordship doesn’t change the fact. Our world likes to make its “own truth”- but that’s not a thing. As a tool of the Evil One “My Truth” gives us permission to ignore Biblical Truth we are absolutely subject to. Truth is Truth, believe it or not - it’s still Truth.
We’ve read about the nations Israel conquered. Now we read about nations Israel, led by David, is conquering. “The Lord gave David victory wherever he went.” 2 Samuel 8:14 NIV
Antagonists point to Gods acts and ask, “Where is the merciful God you claim? He’s killing them all.” No… not all! Here, only those that are unwilling to recognize David’s Kingship perish. God doesn’t turn away a repentant nation - Jew or Gentile. Consider Tou, King of Hamath Vs 9-10. When he heard the truth of David’s victories, he submitted - and lived.
War is ugly. The reality of the Spiritual Battle we are all in is even uglier. This is not just a story of David and Israel - it’s a picture of a way bigger story. All who fail to recognize and submit to the One and Only Lord God through the Only Way, Jesus Christ - will indeed perish (John 14:6) The fate of those who “stick to their guns” is far worse than death. They are FOREVER separated and cast into Hell. Harsh Truth? No, just Truth! (Psalm 9:17, Matthew 13:49-50) Not at all harsh when you consider His Mercy through Jesus, and the alternative offer of life eternal, walking with Him (John 3:16)
Why continue to oppose The One who breathed it all into existence and holds your life in His hand. The choice is yours to make. Serve Him or perish. Yes it’s that simple.
(Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9, 8:1, Philippians 1:6). Reach out I’d love to help.
Love you all! Dig in!
