A small leftover, easy to live with. Generations later David marries a daughter of Geshur, and their son Absalom runs there after murder and returns to steal a kingdom. What you decide not to drive out, you leave to your children. What are you tolerating?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Thank You that You are slow to anger. When I snapped at my family this morning and dragged old guilt…Thank You that You are slow to anger. When I snapped at my family this morning and dragged old guilt around all day, You did not meet me with fury. Your mercy came first, abundant in loving kindness, and I am still held.
Father, help me notice when my freedom wounds someone else. I would rather give up a small right than grieve…Father, help me notice when my freedom wounds someone else. I would rather give up a small right than grieve a brother you loved enough to die for. Teach me to weigh my choices by love, not by what I'm allowed to do.
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place." What a quiet, sad…Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place." What a quiet, sad ending to a day that began with Jonathan climbing a cliff in faith. God had thrown the enemy into panic, and Saul let them walk home. His rash vow cost the momentum God gave. Ask yourself honestly: is there something God started in you that your own stubborn words brought to a halt?
The doorpost was meant for God's words. "You shall write them on the door posts of your house." Now Isaiah…The doorpost was meant for God's words. "You shall write them on the door posts of your house." Now Isaiah finds something else nailed there: "Behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial." Same spot, different love. What greets you when you walk through your door, what your hand reaches for first? Something is written there.
Lord, you promise yourself to me for good, and I still catch myself expecting you to walk away. Hold me…Lord, you promise yourself to me for good, and I still catch myself expecting you to walk away. Hold me in your faithfulness until I believe it. Teach me to live as someone truly wanted, loved with a love that keeps its word.
