I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

2 Samuel 3. “Then Abner became very angry at the words of Ishbosheth, and said, ‘Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman? May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as the Lord has sworn to him— to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.’ And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him” (Verses 8-11). Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Ishbosheth was not God’s choice. In fact God told Saul that his line would be removed completely. God is a God of His word. Abner turns against Saul’s son, and joins forces with David. God’s word will always win out. He will always do what He says. The lesson is life is learning to believe and trust in that. I am learning that lesson, daily.
