An Orchestra For The Praise Of God
What David orchestrated before God was more than spectacular, for it gave praise to the God of Abraham, who saves.

With David being king, the enemy continued to fight against him and the kingdom of Israel. Even the Philistines came back again to wage war against David, in order to take the kingdom for themselves once and for all.
What I just mentioned here is an example of playing with the things of God and making a mockery of it.
Our faith in God is not meaningful to Him if we are not walking in God’s good standing. How can you say you love God, but still do things that God says is wrong?
This is the time, as Christians, to live out our faith in Jesus. We prepare each day to meet God, for tomorrow is not promised.
A few chapters back, Jesus helped us and his disciples back then know how to love Him. Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
We will now look at how Absalsom’s life ended, which was very sad. It is recorded that Joab said, “I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
Let us now learn from and break down what Jesus said in the verses above. He said that there would be pestilences in diverse places on the earth, that things would get worse in the wintertime.
It was because God allowed Hushai to speak out His counsel unto Absalom, that what Ahithophel said became foolishness.
It was in this time that “Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
Though repentance is always a possibility for every person before him or her dies, most people will put this off until it is too late.
Our lusts have consequences, where even other people are also affected. So get them under control with Jesus starting today.
Jesus said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world.
People do crazy things when they are led by their own lust and not by God, as you saw from David’s life.
If you want to know how we ought to be worshiping the Lord, our God, then look no further than the Bible.
Rimmon and Rechab were punished by David’s men. That punishment, you can read in the following verses.
Since the beginning of time, God said, “therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24)
People may try to dispute the fact that Mary had her own children and say that those that do the will of the Father are called into His family, which is true.
When people we love die by the hand of someone else, this can cause anyone to act out in anger.
Please know that when we stop listening to God, He also stops working in our lives. Therefore, the enemy has access to our lives, in order to hurt us physically and spiritually.
It was because David prayed, that he got the answer he needed from God. Therefore, the Lord’s wishes came to pass. This is when David and his six hundred men went and pursued after the Amalekites.
If your heart is for God, then you will want to do many of the things I mentioned. Even the Holy Spirit will give you this desire as you pray.
Truly, what David did was so wrong in not only my eyes, but the Lord’s also. It pains me just thinking about all those innocent lives that were killed by the sword.
The story of David is like my own, for he fell into adultery, as did I. And with David, the Lord was able to help him flee from it, of which God did the same for me.
God has spoken out against people who are committing adultery. This goes for not only people that are having affairs, but those people that are having sex outside of marriage, or looking at pornography.
My friends, if people are homosexual, then they have allowed the devil to lead them on the path of destruction.
Although I am secure in Christ Jesus, I know that there are many other people that are also found within Him also.
In these last four years my passion to read the Bible daily has been burning inside of me. It is no longer a chore to do, but a part of who I am now.
Those that seek the Lord’s hand in their life will have their own personal encounter with Him. It may not be a personal visitation as some may want, but His presence will be there in their lives, nonetheless.
