2 Samuel 14:11 She said, ‘Then let the king invoke the Lord his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son shall not be destroyed.’ ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’ he said, ‘not one hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.’
Today as we remember all those that have fallen before us in churches all round the United Kingdom and beyond, let us petition our Lord in the same manner as this woman requested of the king.
We have seen death and destruction, much of which is based on man’s greed and pride; so let us never treat those sins as normal in our lives. They are not.
This woman was sent by Joab to break down barriers. Sometimes we need a push too!
Thank you Lord for opening our hearts to your love.
