David’s Kindness to Barzillai

And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and went across the Jordan with the king, to escort him across the Jordan. Now Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. And he had provided the king with supplies while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man. And the king said to Barzillai, “Come across with me, and I will provide for you while you are with me in Jerusalem.”

But Barzillai said to the king, “How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king? Your servant will go a little way across the Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me with such a reward? Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, near the grave of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.”

And the king answered, “Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you. Now whatever you request of me, I will do for you.” Then all the people went over the Jordan. And when the king had crossed over, the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own place.

Barzillai complained his age

God finds joy in us coming to Him

Song of Songs 8:13

The Beloved

You who dwell in the gardens,

The companions listen for your voice—

Let me hear it!

The Lord wants to hear your voice.

Let Me see your face.

Come before the Lord. The Lord delights to see your face.

Your face and voice is so precious to Him

Be lover of our Lord Jesus

Enjoy all that He is right now.

Don’t just be satisfied by humanly life

God wants us to live a heavenly life.

Jonathan died when his father died. He was with the right person at the wrong place.

Those with David, they are alive.

Be with Jesus all the way.

Older people who complain, this is not good.

Merry heart does good like medicine.

Think of God’s Word and His promises.

Be rejoicing in the Lord

A merry heart does good, like medicine,

But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Depression drys the bone.

Chimham, his son went over the Jordan

You are coming to this age, are you prepared to go all the way with Me.

Perhaps you are coming to 60, are you prepared to cross over and be with Me?

I will take care of you. I will make you like palm tree.

Cross over to Jordan – death to self (all that we are in the natural) come out to Jordan, a new creation in Christ

Are you willing to cross over to this Jordan and there He will provide for us.

Make sure you are there, where all His provision are.

And they departed and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, as they went on their way to Egypt,

David gave his own house to Chimham.

An inn in Bethlehem

Are you willing to lose your life for His sake? You will find true life

Whoever finds his [lower] life will lose it [the higher life], and whoever loses his [lower] life on My account will find it [the higher life].
