Dear Father,
When David and his men returned home from battle, they found their city in flames, and all the women and children had been taken captive. They were deeply distressed and unsure of what to do. David’s two wives were also taken.
Amid this chaos, David’s men contemplated stoning him. It is disturbing how they all faced the same hardship, yet instead of discussing solutions, they singled out one man to bear the blame for something beyond anyone’s control.
Should one man bear the consequences of their losses simply because he leads?
Any leader would feel angry, bitter, anxious, or even afraid, especially when faced with the foolishness of people who create problems when they should be seeking solutions, and this could have easily resulted in a bloody conflict. Yet David encouraged himself in You.
His wisdom and composure must have been evident and contagious, because the very men who initially thought of stoning him were the same ones who later joined him in battle to recover the captives, and they recovered all. Perhaps many of the conflicts we encounter today are reflections of the knowledge and understanding we need.
