When we won’t submit to God, nothing else works right 

Cleo’s weeble wobble tips but won’t fall down or stay down…unless you take it apart and turn it upside down! 

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ ‭says, “And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.”

Verse 4 says, “And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.”

‭‭But verses 8‬-‭9‬ say,‭‭ “But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; and made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.”

David was submitted to God and God’s timing. He wasn’t fighting for the throne, but others were. 

There will always be fighting when we refuse to submit to God. 

James 4:1 says, “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”

When we fight to get our own way, everything gets upside down, but when we submit to God, nothing can take us down. 

Today's Bible reading is 2 Samuel 2.
