    A desire for the presence and purpose of God must supercede the desire for the things that God can give to us. Miphobesheth valued the person of King David more than the material goods.

    This sermon relates the grief of David over the death of Absalom to God’s grief over our sin.

    Turn with me to 2 Samuel 18. Read 2 Samuel 18:24-33. Here we see a sad picture. King David is well advanced in years. He is no longer the young vibrant man that he once was. He is a broken man.
