Dying to Live
God creates life in the midst of grief. God creates love in the midst of loss. God creates faith in the midst of despair. Resurrecting us from death regardless of its form and its size. God showed it to Ezekiel as he stood in the valley of the dry bones. Jesus showed us by taking the road to Easter right through Good Friday. So, what about you? Do you have any bone-filled graves in your life? Any failures, disappointments, regrets, griefs or fears that continue to bury you? Secrets or anxieties that continue to haunt you? Can these bones live? I know the one who answered the question once and for all. And for centuries He's been in the business of bringing dead bones to life and taking the bits and pieces of our lives - like scattered Legos - and making something beautiful out of them.

2 Samuel 18.1-19.8 - A Sad Victory
This is the final battle that determines who is king. David's men defeats Absalom and kills him contrary to David's request and command. While Joab may have been disobedient in this action, he is still acting more like a king that David, who is passive. David finally receives the news about the death of Absalom and morns for his son. His morning actually hurts the troops and demoralizes Israel in the process. One will benefit from this narrative when one places it and the sad vistory with the emphasis on David's guilt and solution in grace of God in Christ.

Week 2: "Out of Darkness and Grief"
In the shadow of the 6th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America, signs of hope were found in the midst of the rubble of the Twin Towers in the form of a cross. A symbol of hope and a reminder of the suffering and pain that Jesus Christ had gone through for us.

2 Samuel 1:17-27 - Good Grief
In this passage David is expressing grief in a structured way so that it may be remembered and taught to the people especially his military men. Ecc. 7:2-4 shows also that sadness packs a punch that frivolity cannot muster. It is important to remember one's losses in a way that motivates you to walk with God and into intercessory prayer for others. The greater love you have for God, the greater grief you will experience in the trials and tribulations of God's people. But know that nothing can separate you from the Love of God as a Christian (Rom. 8:35-39).
