God is protecting David in the midst of the scheming. Verse 14 shows the reason Absalom chooses to go with the weaker of the two plans. Getting the troops assembled, creating the momentum to move an army and actually heading toward a unified vision is not an easy task. Especially when the men you are attacking are known for being the bravest, fiercest and most experienced fighters out there. God's presence is significant in the deliverance of David and his army. If it were not for Him this would certainly be more dangerous times for the king.
God's protection is so important in our lives.
Take a minute and thank Him for His presence and protection in your life.
"Father, You alone are wise."
Heart and Soul,
