1) Here's the blog entry for the day:
2 Samuel 15:23 - The whole countryside wept aloud as all the people passed by. The king also crossed the Kidron Valley, and all the people moved on toward the desert.
David's son Absalom had threatened David, and he was coming to kill David in Jerusalem so he could be king. David gathered his people and fled Jerusalem, rather than staying and possibly fighting with his firstborn son. As he left, the people of Jerusalem cried for him, and he was headed toward the desert, a place without hope, without water, without life. A place people go to die.
Whenever we fight with others, and especially those who are closest with us, it starts us down a road toward tragedy and destruction. When others see us, they will mourn for us in the state that we are in, rather than cheering us on to victory. Angry divisions never amount to anything good. If at all possible, always try to strive for peace in your relationships with family and friends; it will enhance your path as a leader. Be a peacemaker.
Who is someone you can make peace with today?
