Command: Love your enemies

Matthew 5:44

44 “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Story: David's rise to King

1 Samuel 31:7 – 2 Samuel 5:5, David’s rise to King (Melech pp. 238-244)

When meditating on the commands and stories, keep these questions in mind:

What do I learn about God, Jesus, and/or the Holy Spirit?
What do I learn about man/ people?
What troubles or bothers me? What does the Holy Spirit reveal to me in light of this?
How does the command connect to the story?
What is God saying to me (or what should I obey) & what am I going to do about it?
Do I have any fears, doubts, or resistance in keeping this command?
What does this command reveal about the condition of my heart – what do I really believe and what do I really want?
