As we serve God, what is our point of motivation? What drives our life with Christ? Is it law? Guilt? A debt service to God? Or is it what it was always intended to be-the Gospel. The Christian life was never meant to be casual. There is no easy Christianity; no mild Christianity. It is violent or nothing.

David in this account was physically weary from travel and emotionally drained because of his son Absalom’s rebellion - when he was confronted by an angry embittered man. David displayed a quality that would wipe out most ministry personnel problems, marital issues, emotional stress and consistent self-justification. It could heal broken families; it could cure those afflicted with the disease of victimhood. It can start those who have spiritually stalled. Without this internal quality, spiritual transformation will be muted at best. David in our text reveals the great quality of meekness.

Psalm 118:24, "This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it". If the day of the Cross was God’s day amongst all days, then there were two great spheres that were impacted by the death of God’s Son on the earth - heaven and earth. With the world spiraling downward, with our theology being muddied with social activism, it is more important than ever that God’s people embrace the full significance of the Cross.

Often times in life, if not in most cases, we will face great failure - inexplicable failure that can haunt us. Maybe we have lived a life of folly, wasting our years in wantonness, making one bad decision after another, resulting in a life of shattered dreams and relationships in the present. Maybe you think your best years have passed you by. What more could God do with me? Well “It Ain't Over till it’s Over.”
