2 Samuel 17:2 I would attack him while he is weary and weak. I would strike him with terror, and then all the people with him will flee. I would strike down only the king 
Our spiritual and physical enemies will attack us when we are weary and weak. Lord, be my rock when I have reached exhaustion and have become weak. May I rest in You and may You deliver me from my enemies.

2 Samuel 16:12 It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.” 
Lord, thank You for Your mercy when you see me suffering from the regret of my sins.

Luke 15:4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”
Jesus cares about wandering sheep. Lord, keep pursuing those who have drifted!

2 Samuel 15:26 But if he says, ‘I am not pleased with you,’ then I am ready; let him do to me whatever seems good to him.” 
Am I ready to let the Lord do whatever He wants with me?

Luke 14:27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
Discipleship involves sacrifice and suffering. 

Luke 13:34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”
Jesus longs to gather us together to Himself. The stopper? We are not willing. 

2 Samuel 13:15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and get out!” 
Our sinful desires deceive us, creating a worse situation after we commit the sin. Lord, keep me on the righteous path!

Luke 13:33 Jesus said, “In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day…”
The supreme definition of perseverance. Help me to endure with patience as I press on, O Lord. 

Luke 13:32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, Herod, that I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.”
Jesus will fulfill his plans in spite of opposition or enemy resistance. Amen!

Luke 13:31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”
The devil will use people to discourage, intimidate, and dissuade us from doing God’s will. Give me courage and resolve, Lord.
