"And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.” - II Samuel 5:6

Their "gods" could not help them, save them, offer them "rest" or "peace", or offer "hope".

This verse below comes to mind.

Thank you for this powerful and profound reminder and study on this cool-ish but sunny and beautiful Saturday morning in June, brother.

God bless you.
