Title: Devising Ways to Bring Us Back Mentor: Woman from Tekoa
S: 2 Samuel 14:14 All of us must die eventually. Our lives are like water spilled out on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God does not just sweep life away; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him.
O: The woman from Tekoa was using a story like Nathan did to reveal how David was acting. She was telling about her son that killed her other son and she wanted him protected. David said he would make sure his life was spared. This woman then said, why don't you do the same with your own son Absalom who killed Amnon (who raped Tamar).
Then she says in verse 14 we all die, like spilled water on ground and God "devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from Him."
A: I need to realize that God desires a relationship with me and he will devise ways to bring me back to him. He is pursuing me. That is amazing love.
P: Jesus, I praise you today for pursuing me and "devising ways" to bring me back to you.
Scripture: Matthew 24:35 "However no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in Heaven or the Son himself, only the Father knows."
Observe: Jesus is saying no one knows when Jesus is coming back, not even himself.
Apply / Prayer: Jesus, help me to always be ready for you to come back to earth and help others to get ready as well.
