[21] And the king said to Joab, “All right, I have granted this thing. Go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom.”
[22] Then Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and thanked the king. And Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.”
[23] So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
[24] And the king said, “Let him return to his own house, but do not let him see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, but did not see the king’s face.
[33] So Joab went to the king and told him. And when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Thursday, 30th July, 2026.
David was a man who embodied forgiveness. There are several examples of him showing forgiveness in Scripture. The most popular example of him showing forgiveness is with Saul. Saul actively sought ways of killing David, from throwing a javelin at him in the palace to actually following him and his men into the woods. Yet, when David got the chance to easily kill him, he refused to avenge himself (1 Samuel 24:3-12, 26:9-11). After the death of Saul, Abner continued to fight for the house of Saul until there was a quarrel between him and Ishbosheth. Abner defected to David and David accepted him. Once he came for reconciliation, David forgave him and welcomed him (2 Samuel 3:20).
When Absalom revolted against David, Shimei the son of Gera decided to use the opportunity to revile David (2 Samuel 16:5-10). David refused to allow Abishai or any of his men to attack him. This same Shimei ran to welcome David and seek forgiveness when David was restored (2 Samuel 19:22-23). David chose to forgive at the time and leave his punishment to someone else.
Absalom himself enjoyed the forgiveness of David the king but he misused it. He killed his brother, Amnon, and escaped to another country. David chose to forgive him and bring him back. Instead of enjoying the forgiveness he had received, Absalom committed another grievous offence he attempted to overthrow David. This one was punishable by death but David was still willing to forgive him. He instructed the captains of war to deal gently with Absalom for his sake (2 Samuel 18:5). When David heard of the eventual death of Absalom, he was deeply moved and he mourned for his son (2 Samuel 18:33).
Beloved, we all are beneficiaries of divine forgiveness. As David put it, if God should keep a record of sin, how many of us would stand? Today, ask the Lord to give you a heart of forgiveness just like Christ's.
