DAY TWENTY-FOUR (2 Samuel 22:19 – 1 Kings 7:37)
How comforting to know that God “brightens the darkness around me!” (2 Samuel 22:29)
Love the testosterone and manliness of 2 Samuel 23! Amazed that Eleazar fought so long that his hand literally stuck to the handle of his sword. Wow!
The whole counting of Israel (2 Samuel 24) and how God punished David for doing it will always baffle me. I’m not afraid to admit it.
It’s interesting to note that in 1 Kings 2:12, Solomon was in firm control of the kingdom, but after weeding out the potential dangers, verse 46 says that he was in full control. Probably an interesting lesson in there for leaders.
If you were going to have 2 pillars in your life, the 2 mentioned in 1 Kings 7:21 would be good ones.
