We were talking about Absalom at our Bible Study/Prayer Meeting last night, commenting about how much David continued to love his son despite his rebellion and how David's broken heart is reflected in the Psalms. One of those in our fellowship has a son with a drink problem, causing his parents great grief and sorrow - but they still love him of course. Very different thoughts from those above but still ....

I am determined to be part of a continuation of what God has done through the generation before me, rather than wanting to start over again. Unlike Paul I do want to build on another man's foundation! The above verse also makes me wonder - was it Absalom's rejection of his father that destined him not to become a father himself?

I've been challenged recently about investing myself in things that will last. Our lives may be finite in length, but we have the opportunity to build and invest into something that is eternal - the Kingdom of God! Great post Trev.
