Today's verse is 2 Samuel 16:12
It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
David’s hope was not in vain, though we are commanded not to take pity, when one is found guilty and receives just judgment, neither are we to rejoice in his misfortune, as Solomon observed Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. David, if he remembered Nathan’s pronouncement against him, knew why he was suffering these current events, and counted Shimei’s cursing as a part of his discipline, and indeed, as we read on, David was restored, but not without a heavy cost. Are you like David being chastened of the Lord? Then lift up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. For even as David was Restored and will be given a throne in the Kingdom of God, so will you if you Repent, and walk with him that loves you. Amen.
To God be the Glory
Scott
