The Forgiving God's Gracious Providence in Believers' Pain (2021.06.30 Family Worship in 2Samuel 16:1–14)

How was David able to respond so patiently and humbly to Shimei’s attacks? Pastor leads his family in today’s “Hopewell @Home” passage. 2Samuel 16:1–14 prepares us for the first serial reading of morning worship on the coming Lord’s Day. In these fourteen verses of holy Scripture, we learn that David’s hope in Yahweh’s forgiveness directed him to deal first and foremost with the Lord of astounding and surprising mercy.
