David & Absalom

King David is dealing with the fallout that is the results of his sins, for though they are forgiven, the consequences still remain. As we watch David deal with the turmoil that his actions caused, we are reminded of how important it is to guard our hearts at all times, especially in the times when things are going well.

But David also teaches us that, even in the mess we have created, we can and MUST return to God and surrender to Him, for God can redeem whatever He allows; He never leaves us when we choose to surrender to Him, even as we trudge through and endure the consequences of our own making.
