In His Time.......... with P.Ramachandran

"Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me." – Psalm 27:10 (NIV) David, the shepherd boy who became king, knew what it meant to feel like an outsider in his own family. In Psalm 27:10, he speaks of being forsaken by his parents, a sentiment echoed in Psalm 69:8 : "I am a foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother’s children." These words reveal a deep sense of rejection and isolation. David’s Relationship with Jesse does not appear to be good. Jesse, David’s father, seemed to overlook his youngest son.

Today I had the privilege to minister the Word at His Arrow Church in Horne. Sr Pastor How is a good partner and mentor. We have known each other for more than 20 years.

He lacked nothing, and by worldly standards, he had all the resources to secure his son's future. Yet, as he writes to his son, leaving behind a legacy of wisdom, he does not emphasize wealth, education, or social standing as the keys to a successful life. Instead, he offers an unexpected command: "Do not lean on your own understanding." If anyone had reason to trust in their own wisdom, it was Solomon.
