God As King | Cling to God in the Uphill Battles

This past Sunday, we continued our study of 2 Samuel, focusing on Chapter 18. In this chapter, David’s army, rebuilt with about 20,000 men and relying on God’s wisdom, faces a challenging battle against Absalom’s forces. The conflict ends with Absalom’s death, leaving David heartbroken—a father grieving deeply for a son he hoped would find redemption. David’s response reflects God’s own longing for the restoration of His children.

As we face our own battles in life, may we cling to Jesus, trusting in His perfect plan, strength, and power to carry us through.
