TOPIC: Pack The Dirt
Message
One of the greatest challenge of man is on how does he stand up to face the ugly incidents that was attached to his name. Surviving today beyond the errors of yesterday is not just a function of grace but also a function of hope. There is nothing anyone did today that cannot be handled. I trust the Lord to restore on someone the grace to stand and win the war of accusation against his/her destiny.
There is no wisdom above that of an individual who understands his position and stand in the midst of every matter and events of life. It takes a better understanding to keep a decent character in unison to the present day events or activities. Ugly past catches up with individuals that are not ready to pick the dirt. No man is a saint and growth sponsors gradual change and matured judgement. On today’s scripture we saw the story of Amnon and Absalom. Amnon deceived his sister Tamar and forced her to bed which made Absalom bitter over his brother Amnon. Verse 29 of our first scripture reads, “And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded”.
On the path of Absalom he did the most terrible thing that was least expected from any of David’s children. He slain his own brother. Verse 34 confirmed that He (Absalom) fled. He ran to avoid the king’s punishment. Every human action is attached to his/her existence. What you did today can always be pointed to you. Though Absalom fled but it changed nothing about his status in Israel. It was confirmed in verse 33 of today’s second scripture that he regained forgiveness when he sought for it.
The scripture reads, “So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself and his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom”. Don’t pass your mistakes, correct them now that you have an opportunity. I have heard of a man who carried his wife to all the women he committed adultery with to seek for forgiveness. Tomorrow that man can be a man of God and less/no accusation should be pointed to him because he cleared his past. Humility is the nearest thing to perfection.
There are individuals who have so much raised their egos that they don’t listen to anyone or do anything others suggested them. As we seek for God’s confirmation and approval also we should be ready to pack the dirt or trash we created with other humans.
