What is the King's heart

2 Samuel 14

In this chapter much of it focuses on how Joab tries to intercede for Absalom before King David so that he can return after he killed Ammon his brother.

This is really a tale of 2 people who never knew their position.

Absalom never knew his position before the father because after all this time, when he came before his Father King David, his father kissed him.

Joab on the other had had the same problem of understanding his position before King David. Firstly, He was the commander in chief of the armies of Israel, he was also David's nephew. But when he first tried to intercede for Absalom, he got a stranger to intercede for him. What is really interesting is what he said after in verse 22: Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your sight, my lord.O king,in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.

This is very much like us today, we do not realize the position we have before God.We have Jesus who brings our petitions before the father for us, but often we might not have the belief that a prayer we prayed for ourselves has the same power, authority and clout as someone else has. Know that Daddy God loves you very much and He wants you to prosper and when you ask He gladly answers :D

God Bless all :D
