Today’s Thought “Statue of A Fool” G. Ward

2 Samuel 18:18

Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, “I have no son to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.

 

While allegory seeks to share a storyline that persuades, truth found in the historicity of mankind delivers warning. Whether monumental moments of times past reveals good or evil, the determinations we’ll enjoin ourselves onto can/will determine our eternality, particularly when we opt out for moments of celebrity over obedience.
