When David reached the summit of the Mount of Olives where people worshiped God, Hushai the Arkite was waiting there for him. Hushai had torn his clothing and put dirt on his head as a sign of mourning. But David told him, If you go with me, you will only be a burden. Return to Jerusalem and tell Absalom, I will now be your adviser, O king, just as I was your father’s adviser in the past. Then you can frustrate and counter Ahithophel’s advice. Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, will be there. Tell them about the plans being made in the king’s palace, and they will send their sons Ahimaaz and Jonathan to tell me what is going on. So David’s friend Hushai returned to Jerusalem, getting there just as Absalom arrived. II Samuel 15:32-37 YES.YOU.NEED.A.PLAN! BUT.JUST.ANY.PLAN.WILL.NOT.DO! YOU.NEED.GODS.PLAN! SOMETIMES.YOU.THINK.IT.IS.ALL.UP.TO.YOU! SOMETIMES.YOU.HAVE.FRIENDS.RIGHT.BY.YOUR.SIDE! BUT.GOD.IS.ALWAYS.THERE.AND.YOU.CAN.COUNT.ON.HIM! In what may seem to be the hour of desperation, King David is doing whatever he can to protect himself and those with him from physical harm! Having the ability to think clearly during times of great danger usually results in safety for all involved! Yes at times, nothing we think or do can thwart the evil plans of others or of natural disasters! But many times, God provides His great wisdom in these situations and enables us to take actions which prove beneficial to our very lives and the lives of those we dearly love! GOD CAN (AND MANY TIMES DOES!) MAKE A WAY! P. S. Heres the lyrics to the song, GOD WILL MAKE A WAY . . . God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see; He will make a way for me. He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side. With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way. He will make a way.
