A devotional on 2 Samuel 2:8-5:25 by John Young.
1. What are the lessons of Abner’s and Joab’s character for us as Christians?
2. Are you ever guilty of using the gospel as a means to an end—the end of your own reputation—when people praise you for what is in fact God’s work in you?
3. How has this coronavirus tempted you to think more about what God can give than who God is?
4. What has God shown you over the last week?
I have finally included a recording of “The Sands of Time Are Sinking” that we regularly sing in our gatherings together. I think it’s helpful to think about that day when we finally see Jesus face to face and on that day we will have no regard for our glory but only for his. I look forward to singing it with you again in person very, very soon.
