2 Samuel 16-17

(July 13, 2014)

                Ahithophel’s story is an interesting one in today’s political climate.  Ahithophel was looked at as a highly intelligent man – the language of the scriptures is particularly evocative when it described him as a person who’s counsel was as if the counsel of God.  There are certainly those who we also look to in order to replace the counsel of God.  Do we look to scientists, or experts, or politicians, or commentators with more deference to their opinions than we are willing to give to the Prophet?  If so, what does that say about us and who is our God?
