Think of David’s sorrow over Absalom and remember that our Lord grieves over His children’s disobedience, too. If we could grasp the tiniest inkling of the pain we cause Him when we think, speak or act in ways that dishonor Him, it would truly make it so much harder to slip up. David, grieving for his son Absalom, was confronted by Joab with the hard truth: if all he men who fought and died meant anything to you, now’s the time to say so. “So the king went out and took his seat at the town gate, and as the news spread throughout the town that he was there, everyone went to him” (II Samuel 19:8b). Sitting at the town gate signified to all that David was at peace with what had happened and he was now approachable. Our King is amazingly approachable. As the old song says, He’s as close as the mention of His Name. Have you talked to Him today? He’d love to hear from you.
