In
the Psalms, David says that God satisfies him like eating a good meal satisfies
his appetite. He also says that he thirsts for God. Is that how God is to you? Does
God satisfy your thirst? Think about that as you read these passages.
From the Former Prophets
David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the
men of Israel. Absalom
had appointed Amasa over
the army in place of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether, an Ishmaelite who had married Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of
Zeruiah the mother of Joab. The
Israelites and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
When David came to
Mahanaim, Shobi son of Nahash from
Rabbah of the Ammonites, and
Makir son of Ammiel from Lo
Debar, and Barzillaithe Gileadite from Rogelim brought bedding and bowls and articles of
pottery. They also brought wheat and barley, flour and roasted grain, beans and
lentils, honey and curds, sheep,
and cheese from cows’ milk for David and his people to eat. For they said, “The people have become
exhausted and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.”
2 Samuel 17:24-29
