"Have a Right Motives in Showing Kindness" from 2 Samuel 19

We need to check our hearts in showing kindness.

Matthew 6:1 Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before man, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.


Do not cover up your sin by showing kindness.
King David was mourning for his son Absalom he shows kindness and trully sincere with his act. Joab killed Absalom, he is putting guilt to David, trying to cover up his sins in killing Absalom.


Sometimes in our walk with the Lord we are discourage, we should continue to pressed on. Do we do it for man or for the Lord?

If we do it for the Lord we wouldn't be discourage. As discouragement comes from Satan. Discouragement is when we are looking to ourselves and not from the Lord.
We need to serve the Lord wholeheartedly, genuine and sincere before God. We need to show kindness to God from within our hearts.
Shimei was the one who curse David.

Ziba was the one who betrayed David.

We can not cover our sins to God by showing kindness.


Nice Christian Life Experiences

But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
