bible reading: 2 SAmuel 17:1-2

Now Ahithophel urged Absalom, “Let me choose 12,000 men to start out after David tonight.

I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged. He and his troops will panic, and everyone will run away. Then I will kill only the king,

devotion:

In the story of Ahithophel's advice to Absalom, we see a tactic to exploit weariness and discouragement. Today, reflect on how the enemy might use your moments of fatigue to sow fear and doubt. As you read 2 Samuel 17:1-2, consider how staying focused on God's promises can help you overcome the enemy's strategies and renew your purpose.

Question for reflection:

How can you refocus on God's promises when you feel weary or discouraged, to avoid falling into the enemy's traps?
