Reading 2 Samuel 2:12-17 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. The armies of Ishbosheth led by Saul’s cousin, David’s army led by David’s nephew. Abner’s ideas of the next best thing to do continues to make a mess and brings more death. Champion warfare that led only to more violence. Had Joab or Abner paused and asked God what to do, things would have gone differently. See this example and realize the choice we have everyday to choose life and walk into the life He has for us.
