Reading Assignment: 2 Samuel 20:1
Personal Reflection ACTion Statement:
The selfish, self-serving rebel, with his unruly heart, his defiant attitude, and his recalcitrant nature, is a far cry from being obedient. He is a narcissist who practices the art of antagonism. He actively entices and provokes, all while seeking to undermine authority. He incites chaos and encourages conflict. However, his plots and schemes will always find him out. His wayward, disorderly behavior all but guarantees a swift race toward the path of destruction. In the spiritual sense, there will be no salvation in the face of his divisive obstinance.
