Who cursed King Davidđź‘‘ and threw stones at him?
ANSWER: Shimei
2 Samuel 16:5-6 ESV
"When King David came to Bahurim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera, and as he came he cursed continually. 6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left."
ENCOURAGING WORD:
"For in the day of trouble he [God] will keep me
safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the
shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon
a rock." - King David (Psalm 27:5)
I have read that William Cowper, like many people
today, suffered from times of deep melancholy and
depression. One night when he was in a particularly dark mood of despair, he decided to take his life by jumping into the Thames River.
That night the city of London was blanketed with an extremely heavy fog and Mr. Cowper, searching to find the river, lost his way. Stumbling blindly through the fog he was dumbfounded when he found himself on the doorstep of his own home. Going to his room he penned the words of the beautiful hymn:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower."
Prayer: "Our Loving Heavenly Father, please help me in my times of despair and depression to trust in you. Hide me in the shelter of Your love and lead me to the place of help that I need. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving
Name I Pray, Amen."
