Psalms 102:9
For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Thu, May 12, ASHES (Ps. 102:9). There are only 3 kinds of people want and are forced to eat ashes. David was 3 of them all.
1. Poor.
David was poor, when he was couped by his own beloved son, Absalom. He has to leave his beautiful palace and lived from place to place. Most of them were deserts. There were dusts and ashes in the desert. David had to eat ashes on his journey and escape. The sand nad ash storms were often attacked him and his troops.
2. Crazy.
David pretended to be crazy. He ate ashes in front of the Philistine king. He pretended in order not to be killed by the king. And his act was succesful. They believed that he was really crazy and released him. He was freed to go safely. So, in this case, David got the talent of a star. He could pretend and people believed him.
3. Humiliated.
Lastly, David was humiliated when he had sinned against God by killing his own general, Uriah and took his wife, Bathsyeba to be his wife. Although, he had confessed his sins and took Bathsyeba to be his wife, God didn’t please with him. God punished and humiliated him. Yet, God didn’t leave him. Have you ever eat ashes? ASH.
