Calvary Reflections
Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World

Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who helped with the Youth Fishing Event yesterday!
Bible Reading
This week's Old Testament reading (2 Samuel 20-1 Kings 7) begins with a beheading and ends with a building.
Chapter 20 sees Sheba losing his head for revolting against David. In chapter 21, David makes amends to the Gibeonites. In Chapter 22-23, David gives a psalm and some final words. 2 Samuel ends with David taking a census of the people.
In 1 Kings, David's son Adonijah tries to be the king, but David selected Solomon, who kills Adonijah and others who are vying for the throne. In chapters 3-4 we see the wisdom of Solomon and his prosperity. Chapter 5-7 deal with the preparation and building of the Temple.
Interesting notes:
· 2 Samuel 22 is Psalm 18.
· Check out the last name in the list of David's mighty men (in ch. 23). Where have we heard that name before? David certainly stabbed one of his men in the back, didn't he?
· 1 Kings 4:32 – these writings of Solomon include the Proverbs, Song of Solomon, Psalms 72 and 127, as well as some things not recorded in Scripture.

If you are losing sight of the future, climb up the stairs of Revelation and get a glimpse of the promised land.
