صموئيل الثاني 23:17

Ahithophel was a trusted counselor of King David. But because of bitterness, he betrayed him and joined hands with the conspiracy of Absalom, and finally, he ended his life tragically by committing suicide. Read in this 5 Day Devotional the causes and cure for bitterness, so that it does not kill you.

With stress, anxiety and depression manifesting in diverse forms and attacking us in diverse ways, the world has been seeing a surge of suicides. Let us see why Suicide is not the remedy.

There is no heartache equal to that of losing a loved one. Unanswered questions, despair, and perhaps self-blame can leave those left behind with feelings of hopelessness. This 16-day plan examines biblical examples of suicide as well as the smorgasbord of lies we are tempted to believe in a suicide situation. Replacing these lies with God’s Truth will bring healing and comfort to those left behind. 

2 Samuel depicts the ascension and reign of King David following the death of Saul and Jonathan. David united the kingdom, established Jerusalem as the capital city, and extended the territory of Israel. At the crescendo of the book, God promises David that "your throne shall be established forever" (2 Samuel 7:16). Despite David's wickedness, God ultimately fulfills his promises to David through the person and work of Jesus Christ.
