Peace in the middle of chaos...
David had just went thru a rebellion in his own house that affected all of Israel. "Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said, "We have no portion in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"" 2 Sam 20:1
The chaos continues! Even those in David's army had beef with each other and were causing chaos. But notice David put a specific person in place, "and Sheva was scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests; and Ira the Jairite was also a priest to David." 2 Sam 20:25-26
David had someone helping him in his devotional to the Lord. Even in the middle of chaos David went after the Lord. He pursued the peace of the Lord in the middle of chaotic circumstances. What do you do during chaotic times? Sometimes we can seek peace in other things which is temporary but seeking after the Lord gives peace that surpasses all understanding. Let's seek the Lord no matter the circumstance.
