David certainly had issues, yet he would turn back to God and God's ways. One note here is that not instructing his children in the ways of the LORD proved to a disadvantage when Adonijah wanted to take the throne and make himself "king".
Abigail spoke of a knowing of what evil and harsh was all about for her husband Nabal was the exact form of evil.
But thinking toward the future, that enduring house would go forward from David through Solomon toward the manifestation of Jesus Christ!
IN David
we saw a man after God’s own heart. He wrote some Psalms and they were captured
for our benefit. He revealed the glory of God, his problem and how the prayer
would be given. Each Psalm he purposed through the Holy Spirit reveals that God
was foremost on his mind.
Then we
find Jesus, himself and as a house of prayer. His teachings to the disciples
was one we could model no doubt. His
example was that He was continually withdrawing from the Father of light.
He had
conversation with His Father drawing strength from that intimate
relationship He had in heaven. From this intimate time and relationship is one
we can have because Jesus Christ came and hung on a cross to pay the price for
us with his life!
Displaying
a life of prayer and worship to the Father, prayer was seen as a longing of
closeness restored to the once lost sinner. In the born again state, we are
brought back to life. It is that valued communication with the Father to see
Him and hear Him. Prayer will expand heaven on earth.
An enduring house is one that God has set in
place. It is a place of the “saved”, born again to His purpose and plans. The
enduring house is the place of revering the “awesome “God and bringing His
words into our speaking and by praying them daily!
In
abiding in His enduring house of prayer, we find what the defective within our
hearts may be. Whatever is defective we should TAKE AIM AT to restore to
soundness, rather than to suffer the defect to be increased. RATHER THAN
LOOKING ON THE PROBLEM, LOOKING TO THE ANSWER!
In 2 Tim
1:7…we are reminded...For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power
and of love and of a sound mind. (well-balanced) It is in God’s power…that we are completely
regulated & influenced, so as to think,
speak, & act
AS GOD WOULD SPEAK IN ALL THINGS!
Our trust is to be in God. With our whole
heart, we lean not to our own understanding, not to other’s opinions and ideas, but to God’s ways. In all our
ways to life, living, to children and to those we might work with or come in
contact with in ministry, we should have the Lord’s wisdom on it. For if we pay attention to the news, or some
form information that is full of the world’s wisdom we gain only the world. But
the wisdom that is from above, that which is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without
hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness sown in peace by those who
make peace. (James 3:17)
If Jesus
is truly our Lord, then discernment will be found as wisdom on our lips. May we
be the prudent who activate the Holy Spirit in all that is purposed for us and
not our own plans.
As the
enduring house, we will act like Jesus and sound like Jesus. Our every decision
must be based on prayer in the Word of God that is of sound wisdom.
Father
God, may we be those who speak with wisdom and have faithful instruction on our
tongues and “Not just what someone wants to hear”! On bent knee we bless the Father of light and have no part in darkness.
It is the goodness of God that we will declare to others. Father may we bless
YOU in this Word and in this day by bringing honor to YOUR holy Name. Amen.
