2 Samuel 2:8-5:25 Devotional

A devotional on 2 Samuel 2:8-5:25 by John Young.
1. What are the lessons of Abner’s and Joab’s character for us as Christians?
2. Are you ever guilty of using the gospel as a means to an end—the end of your own reputation—when people praise you for what is in fact God’s work in you?
3. How has this coronavirus tempted you to think more about what God can give than who God is?
4. What has God shown you over the last week?
I have finally included a recording of “The Sands of Time Are Sinking” that we regularly sing in our gatherings together. I think it’s helpful to think about that day when we finally see Jesus face to face and on that day we will have no regard for our glory but only for his. I look forward to singing it with you again in person very, very soon.
2 Samuel 2:1-11 Devotional

We thought about our tendency to despise the day of small things. Can you think of any other examples from God’s dealing with the world or his church in which we can see how God works through small, unnoticeable things at the moment?
If you get depressed at the apparent insignificance of some good work in which you are involved, how can you encourage yourself by what the Bible tells us about Christ’s return and the triumph of his kingdom?
We thought about how the things we look forward to oftentimes fail to live up to the hype, or at least are delayed; and even in the Christian life, we live in this period of “already and not yet.” So if this is the case, how can we look forward to things and enjoy the gifts and joys of this life while at the same time not be disappointed?
It was mentioned in the devotional how Paul encourages the Thessalonians with the promise of the coming of Jesus and there are references to it in almost every chapter. We were encouraged to find them. Here is the list of the references to the second coming of Christ that occur in each chapter:
1 Thessalonians: 1:10; 2:19; 3:11-13; 4:13-18; 5:23-24
2 Thessalonians: 1:7, 10; 2:8
