Read through the Bible in 2 Years: 2 Samuel 17

Reading today’s passage I was again encouraged what the Lord has ordained will come to pass. No one can thwart Him. No one can stay His hand. The safest place I can be is in the center of His will. I can trust His goodness and power to accomplish His purposes. Am I fighting for Jim or against Him?

Heavenly Father, I pray that the counsel I give to others will be founded on love and wisdom. Help me to trust You. Help me to walk one foot in front of the other, seeking Your guidance each step of the way. Keep me inside the rail guards that You have established. Help me to be discerning so I can sort out what is Your voice and what is the devil’s, and then give me the desire and strength to obey You. In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen
