Keep hope to the Lord when we are under misery

2 Samuel 16:1-14
Ziba showed favor to the King with donkeys and bread and wines. And he said to David Mephibosheth staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, the Israelites will restore to him his grandfather’s kingdom.
Shimei curses David: “Get out, you murderer, you scoundrel! The Lord has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul...”
But the kings said to Abishi, “What does this have to do with you, If he is cursing because the Lord said to him, “Curse David,’ who can ask,  ‘Why do you do this?”
It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.
Why?
One showed favor to the king David, another showed curse to David. David accepted it all and David felt all of this is in hands of the Lord.
Ziba though one day David may return and gave him property.
Shimei felt David is a murder killed Saul, but David didn’t, twice David had chances to kill Saul.
David is humble himself before the Lord, he knew this event was caused by himself and he accepted it.

在改朝換代的時候就是選邊站,如果能落井下石對我有好處。
大衛此刻無法求證,先保住米非波設生命為主,不急著行公義,急著行公義容易弄錯。行公義以人得到最大的益處。行公義目的在挽回一個人。在教會一樣行公義在於挽回人,不可急著行公義
示每所控告是過頭了。其說法咒罵並非公義。我們批評人時是否帶著私心?不要輕易批判人。亞比塞性情急,憑感覺做事。
大衛相信所有發生在他身上的都是神允許的。大衛面對咒罵也不生氣,顯出他真的謙卑,不去和人計較,他知道他的指望在乎神。如果大衛真的殺了示每表示應驗示每的話。

How?
We have to accept the Lord is the king in my life, no matter good or bad when we give thanks to the Lord, all are good to us. Keep hope to the Lord when we are under misery.
