REVEALED WORD TODAY

// Read: II Samuel 13:3-5 //
3 But Amnon had a very crafty friend—his cousin Jonadab (the son of David’s brother Shimeah).

4 One day Jonadab said to Amnon, “What’s the trouble? Why should the son of a king look so haggard morning after morning?”

So Amnon told him, “I am in love with Tamar, my half sister.”

5 “Well,” Jonadab said, “I’ll tell you what to do. Go back to bed and pretend you are sick; when your father comes to see you, ask him to let Tamar come and prepare some food for you. Tell him you’ll feel better if she feeds you.”

MEDITATION:
The story is about Amnon whose glorious future of being a king was subtly destroyed by his friend. He gave him the Satanic advice that he followed and slept with his half sister Tamar. Be careful of the kind of friend you are keeping. Who are the people that have a direct influence over your life? Are they godly people?

PRAYER: Prayerfully examine your companion and do away with your Jonadab.
