LIFT UP THE WORD – LIGHT UP THE WORLD For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him. 2 Samuel 22:29-31 Today, we observe the National Day of Prayer, uniting as a nation under God, seeking…

The King David And Absalom Story

What a story, Absalom the son of King David, decided to overthrow his father from the throne. This put David in a very difficult position. Because Absalom was his son, David didn’t want to fight back and kill him. So he fled from the city. He did, however, devise a plan. The king also told Zadok the priest, “Look, here is my plan. You and Abiathar should return quietly to the city with your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar’s son Jonathan. I will stop at the shallows of the Jordan River and wait there for a report from you.”  2 Samuel 15:27-28 Let’s review the story of king David and his son Absalom. Absalom had a sister named Tamar who was raped by their half-brother Amnon. Absalom took revenge on Amnon and killed him. Therefore, David banished him from Jerusalem. But with the help of Joab, David allowed Absalom back into the city. For four years Absalom worked on a plot to overthrow his father’s throne. He began by stealing the hearts of all the people of Israel. When people tried to bow before him, Absalom wouldn’t let them. Instead, he took them by the hand and kissed them. Absalom did this with everyone who came to the king for judgment, and so he stole the hearts of all the people of Israel.   2 Samuel 15:5-6 Absalom got David’s permission to go to Hebron to make a sacrifice to God. But while he was there he put his plan into action. But while he was there, he sent secret messengers to all the tribes of Israel to stir up a rebellion against the king. “As soon as you hear the ram’s horn,” his message read, “you are to say, ‘Absalom has been crowned king in Hebron.’” 2 Samuel 15:10

Absalom's Takeover

David received the news of Absalom’s takeover. So, for the sake of his family and the city of Jerusalem he fled from the palace. We must flee at once, or it will be too late!” David urged his men. “Hurry! If we get out of the city before Absalom arrives, both we and the city of Jerusalem will be spared from disaster.” 2 Samuel 15:14 The story didn’t end there. Years earlier, God personally chose David to reign as the next king of Israel after Saul. And the Lord hadn’t released him of that call. In Psalm 30, David laid out a template of how to experience victory. You can read this related post called How To Experience Victory, Healing And Life.

Applying the Story of King David and Absalom

So, how can we apply this story of king David and Absalom to our lives? Even though Absalom was David’s son, he became his enemy and tried to defeat him. We also have an enemy called the devil. He will use whatever means he can to deceive and defeat us. Just as Absalom tried to do with David. Even after his father forgave him and allowed him back into the city, Absalom turned against him. All the while influencing the people to follow him. The king, however, didn’t react to what was happening. Instead, he took some advice that Moses gave to the children of Israel. But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. Exodus 14:13 Years ago I served as a youth pastor. During that time an issue came up that dealt with the senior pastor. We knew the issue would be discussed at the next board meeting. The accusation against the pastor was false. So, I asked him what he was planning on saying in his defense. He told me something I will never forget. He said, “The Lord told me a long time ago, ‘when you try to defend yourself then I can’t defend you.’” The Lord continued with, “stay quiet and I will defend you.” I’m glad I was there to see what happened in that board meeting. The pastor never said a word. He was vindicated while the focus moved away from him altogether.

David, A Man After God's Own Heart

We can learn important lessons from the story of how King David handled the uprising of Absalom. The king recognized God as his strength and he patiently waited on the Lord. These are a couple of reasons why God considered David a man after His own heart. He also wrote the following words in the Psalms and backed them up by his actions. - The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. Psalm 9:9-10 - The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. Psalm 28:7 - Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 The way he lived his life also became an example for those who knew him. Again his actions backed up the advice that he wrote in Psalm 62. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8 Lord, help us to trust in you at all times. We recognize you as our refuge and we pour out our hearts to you.

PERPETUA VERGINITÀ

Una scrittura molto usata dai protestanti è Matteo 1,25:

"Giuseppe non la conobbe FINCHÉ Maria non ebbe partorito un figlio; e [una volta nato, Giuseppe] gli pose nome Gesù".

Qui la scrittura non dice che dopo la nascita del Salvatore Giuseppe conobbe Maria, inoltre mai la Scrittura dirà che Maria partorì altri figli oltre Gesù stesso.

La Scrittura semplicemente afferma che Maria ha partorito Gesù senza necessità alcuna che Giuseppe [come nessun altro] la conoscesse.

Vi faccio alcuni esempi di come la Scrittura fa uso della congiunzione "FINCHÉ", /che differisce dal modo con cui la utilizziamo noi solitamente/:

"Abbonderà la pace FINCHÉ non ci sia più la luna" (Salmo 71, 7) significa che quando non ci sarà più la luna non ci sarà più pace?

Salmi 109,1:

Oracolo del Signore al mio Signore:

«Siedi alla mia destra,

FINCHÉ io ponga i tuoi nemici

a sgabello dei tuoi piedi».

Significa forse che quando i nemici saranno sgabello dei suoi piedi, Gesù non siederà più alla destra del Padre?

1Corinzi 15,25:

"Bisogna infatti che Gesù regni FINCHÉ non abbia posto tutti i nemici sotto i Suoi piedi".

Forse che dopo Gesù non regna più? Come è possibile, visto che la Scrittura dice chiaramente che il suo regno è eterno e senza fine?

"Regnerà per sempre e il Suo regno non avrà fine" (Luca 1,33).

È quindi chiaro che "finché" non significa che dopo Gesù cessa di regnare. Così anche in Matteo 1, 25 quel "non la conobbe FINCHÉ..." non significa che dopo Giuseppe conobbe Maria. Giuseppe non la conobbe mai prima né la conobbe dopo. /L'evento a cui fa riferimento il FINCHÉ in questione non presuppone alcun cambio di abitudini negli atteggiamenti di Giuseppe dopo un indefinito momento temporale, altrimenti il testo ne avrebbe parlato in maniera ugualmente esplicita anche in seguito. Fa "semplicemente" menzione che, nonostante la giusta reticenza di Giuseppe, al momento prestabilito Gesù nacque come annunciato./

Salmi 122,2:

"I nostri occhi sono rivolti al Signore nostro Dio,

FINCHÉ abbia pietà di noi".

Significa forse che dopo che Dio avrà avuto pietà di noi, i nostri occhi non saranno più rivolti a Dio?

Matteo 28,20:

"Ecco, io sono con voi tutti i giorni, FINO alla fine del mondo".

Significa questo che dopo la fine del mondo Gesù non è più con noi? Ovviamente no, Gesù sarà sempre con noi, anche dopo la fine del mondo. /Il mondo finirà lo stesso, ma Lui non si muoverà/.

Così anche Maria è rimasta sempre vergine anche dopo il parto.

2Samuele 6,23:

"Mikal, figlia di Saul, non ebbe figli fino al giorno della sua morte."

Dobbiamo forse pensare che Mikal ebbe figli dopo la sua morte? Ovviamente NO.

Come qui non significa che dopo la sua morte Mikal ha avuto figli, così anche quel famoso "FINCHÉ" non significa che dopo il parto Giuseppe conobbe Maria intimamente, /perché non aveva motivi di cambiare atteggiamento verso di lei, specie dopo la nascita miracolosa di Gesù/.

La Scrittura non dice mai che Maria ha partorito altri figli, era infatti stato profetizzato che sarebbe rimasta sempre vergine.

Ezechiele 44,1,2:

«Questa porta rimarrà chiusa: non verrà aperta, nessuno vi passerà, perché c'è passato il Signore, Dio d'Israele. Perciò resterà chiusa».

Maria è "la porta rimasta sempre chiusa" perché rimasta sempre vergine; attraverso questa porta Dio si è incarnato ed è entrato e venuto nel mondo, "Perciò questa porta resterà sempre chiusa, nessuno vi passerà, perché c'è passato il Signore" (Ez 44, 1-2).

Non fatevi ingannare dalle sette protestanti, che soggiogate da spiriti bugiardi offendono Dio e offendono Maria, usano la Scrittura al contrario e dicono menzogne contro la Beata Vergine.

Di Giuseppe Longo, /con alcune precisazioni mie/.

The Psalms

Ive been wondering something about the Psalms since reading 2Samuel.

In most places where I see the Psalms being referenced, they're presented as solemn and somber. Especially Psalm 23.

But 2 Samuel describes King David, this shepherd made King, as dancing and whirling, to the point his wife calls him disgraceful and embarrassing himself.

So, I wonder if the music of this former shepherd, who loved God, who played the harp and apparently danced wildly, did not intend the Psalms to be more energetic and lively.

Anyone have any thoughts/theories/research on this?

25 000 jours

« Enseigne-nous à compter nos jours, afin que nous en acquérions un cœur sage. » Psaume 90:12

Notre vie peut s’interrompre à tout moment, mais le Psaume 90 indique une durée de vie moyenne de 70 ans (v. 10), c’est-à-dire un peu plus de 25 000 jours.

25 000 jours, est-ce long, est-ce court ? Question difficile, mais une chose m’étreint : c’est qu’ils sont comptés et que je ne pourrai pas recommencer. Quels ont été les jours déjà écoulés ? « Courts et mauvais » dit Jacob devant le Pharaon (Genèse 47:9). En contraste, Paul déclare au terme de sa vie : « J’ai combattu le bon combat, j’ai achevé la course, j’ai gardé la foi » (2Timothée 4:7).

Ne serait-il pas bon pour nous aussi que, jetant un regard en arrière, nous fassions un bilan sincère du temps déjà écoulé ? Quelqu’un a dit : « L’histoire de ma vie a été l’histoire de mon dépouillement ». Mais beaucoup de souffrances qui ont marqué cette route-là, deviendront « un sujet de louange, de gloire et d’honneur, dans la révélation de Jésus Christ » (1Pierre 1:7). Un autre dira : « J’ai perdu du temps que j’aurais pu consacrer au Seigneur ! » et cela le remplit de tristesse, car le temps perdu ne se rattrape pas.

Bien des faux pas ont marqué la route de chacun, mais le sentiment de la grâce de Dieu, de sa miséricorde qui a tout pardonné, enlève l’amertume d’avoir si souvent péché. C’est ce qu’exprime David au terme de sa vie : « Quoique ma maison ne soit pas ainsi avec Dieu, cependant il a établi avec moi une alliance éternelle » (2Samuel 23:5).

Que nous soyons jeunes ou plus âgés, il y a pour chacun de nous ce que Pierre appelle « le reste de la vie terrestre » (1Pierre 4:2). Que voulons-nous en faire ? L’apôtre nous engage à le vivre « pour la volonté de Dieu » (v. 2). Il importe donc que je recherche quelle est la volonté de Dieu pour le temps qui me reste sur la terre. Choisir de vivre ces années pour la gloire de Dieu, c’est la meilleure voie pour moi.

*Artigo: RECONCILIAÇÃO E DEPOIS OFERTA*

Neste momento, Deus trabalha ardentemente nos corações, pois a amargura tem emperrado a obra divina. O Senhor concede as últimas oportunidades para acertarmos a questão do perdão. Vemos na Bíblia que Deus Se agradava muito de Davi. Ele tinha pecados e erros, mas Deus sempre o honrava em todas as coisas. Havia algo nele que agradava a Deus. Ele era um homem simples. Ele nunca se considerou maior e nem menor do que o tamanho que Deus disse que ele tinha. Davi sempre se humilhou e aceitou as repreensões do Senhor, porque a repreensão nunca é para gerar revolta e ira, mas para gerar humildade.

Precisamos saber como estamos e, mediante os arranjos diários, veremos se estamos resistindo à Palavra da verdade. Precisamos aproveitar os momentos em que Deus deseja trabalhar e restaurar todas as coisas. Temos de administrar a Palavra de Deus em nossa vida. Tenha coragem de agradar a Deus desta forma: humilhe-se na presença de Deus. Devemos ter no coração o desejo de agradar a Deus, e a única maneira é humilhando-nos. No momento em que nos "abaixarmos", Ele exaltar-nos-á. Temos de abrir o coração, para recebermos as coisas do Senhor.

Vemos em 2Samuel 16:5-8 as palavras que Davi ouviu de Simei. Quem escolheu e colocou Davi no trono foi Deus. O Senhor não chama os homens por meio de um clique mágico. Ele tem um tempo para trabalhar em todos, para aperfeiçoar. Hoje, não são poucos os cristãos que têm boca para liberar iras e injúrias e não têm comunhão com as pessoas. Somos verdadeiras "ilhas". Nós formamos "grupinhos" e não temos comunhão com todos. Precisamos analisar o nosso coração, para ver como estamos.

Todos os valentes de Davi estavam com ele, mas Abisai, valente de Davi, não sabia receber as afrontas sem se irar. Mas, Davi disse: "tu não vês que Deus está me testando, que está trabalhando em minha vida". Davi tinha todo o direito de amargurar-se, segundo a ótica humana, contra Simei, mas não fez isso. Jesus veio trazer a novidade e aprofundar as leis da velha aliança. Temos de liberar perdão e pedir perdão para depois servir ao Senhor. O Senhor purifica-nos mediante a confissão e o arrependimento. Na nova aliança, o Senhor coloca a ordem: primeiro a reconciliação e depois o servir ao Senhor. Se Jesus voltar e não tivermos acertado isso, o nosso destino será as trevas exteriores e a disciplina milenar. Não há mais tempo para cultivar ódio e ira congelada. Precisamos urgentemente nos humilhar e praticar o perdão.

April 10th- we see we could be taking away our praise from the Lord and giving it to a person instead.

2Samuel 24: 22Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what is good in his sight. Look, the oxen for the burnt offering, the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. 23“Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.” 24However, the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you…
