Day 128 – May 8, 2021
Scriptures: Judges 9, Psalm 120 Email Subscription service is changing. Please Update your email subscription here Abimelech grasps for power. He consolidates power under his name so he can rule and reign with an iron fist. He proves himself to be a bloodthirsty warmonger. There is so much death under his reign, there is no peace. Not much can be said positively about this. I suppose what comes to mind today is Jesus’ words, “those who live by the sword, die by the sword.” In the case of Abimelech, he almost dies of a stone, but instead the sword pierces him. He lived by the sword and died by the sword. I join with the Psalmist in calling for peace, “I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.” Let’s pursue peace today in Christ. Surrounded by war, we are a people of peace. Blessed are the peacemakers! Jordan P.S. Feedburner is done in July.
