When, Or How, Will You Do The Will Of God?

 

Today's verse is 2 Samuel 3:9

So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him; 

    What I want to focus on here is that Abner had already known what the will of the Lord God was, yet he did not do right for right’s sake, but because he was accused of a transgression (whether he was guilty or not, appears not to matter.) Thus did Abner finally repent and turned the rest of Israel back to David the rightful King, however, not without cost. For though David passively granted Abner a pardon, Joab, seeking vengeance for his brother, possibly under the colour of being the revenger of blood, took Abner’s life, which was a consequence of his wrongful seeking to keep the kingdom in his family. Therefore, let us consider, what will it take for God to get you to do that which you know he wants you to do? Will you do it because you know it to be God’s Will? Or will you delay until God forces your hand? Selah [Choose you this day whom ye shall serve.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
