Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
David is so grieved by the loss of his sons, that he is eager to believe that Absalom is truly repentant and sincere. The reconciliation, though, will be short-lived, as Absalom is soon to be involved in a rebellion against his own father.
This is a harsh and difficult lesson, that resonates in the Middle East to this day. Sometimes, "Reconciliation", or "The Peace Process" is not what it seems.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen
