2 Samuel Twenty-One

The Gibeonites had suffered at the hands of the last king. Though what happened to them was a travesty, God was still very much working in their lives. As He reveals to David the reason for the nations challenges, He also will bring closure to a people that have suffered great loss.

There is a way to mend bridges that have been tore down. If both parties are willing to see things realistically. What was taken from the Gibeonites was their identity and their place in society. This is not a small thing. David was willing to offer justice. And all though it may be strange in our societal standards, it was what brought healing to both them and the nation of Israel.

Who have you offended in the past that you should try to make amends? Pride can be a dangerous enemy here. It can cause you more trouble than an apology would cost.

"Father, help me see if I have offended anyone."

Heart and Soul,
