I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

2 Samuel 4. “ But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, ‘As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life from all adversity,  when someone told me, saying, Look, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good news, I arrested him and had him executed in Ziklag—the one who thought I would give him a reward for his news. How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his bed? Therefore, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?’ So David commanded his young men, and they executed them, cut off their hands and feet, and hanged them by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the tomb of Abner in Hebron” (Verses 9-12). We have a responsibility to do right, even when wrong works in our favor. David is truly “a man after God’s own heart”, he always chose what he knew to be right. Today as we go through the day, we will be giving opportunity to choose right and wrong. Wrong will always seem easier. Right, will always require us to let go of something, but in the end will bring us greater reward.
