2 Samuel 4: 5 One day Baanah and Recab, the two sons of Rimmon, headed out for the house of Ish-Bosheth. They arrived at the hottest time of the day, just as he was taking his afternoon nap.6 They entered the house on a ruse, pretending official business. The maid guarding the bedroom had fallen asleep, so Recab and Baanah slipped by her7 and entered the room where Ish-Bosheth was asleep on his bed. They killed him and then cut off his head, carrying it off as a trophy. They traveled all night long, taking the route through the Arabah Valley.
The shear arrogance of a person who is so presumptuous as to nap at a time of war. He knew his best General was dead, knew that God’s favor was with David and he has the audacity to nap with only a maid to guard him.
How are we like him? Where are we so arrogant and presumptuous before God that we’ve left ourselves exposed to our enemy allowing them to do as they please with our lives? Such presumption on God is dangerously foolish and we only have ourselves to blame.
It’s time for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to evaluate herself, repent and turn from her wicked ways. Then, and only then, can The Church find true revival, be energized by The Power of The Holy Spirit and resume our given orders.
