I was reading 2 Samuel today, in an attempt to actually be in the Word (huh... what a novel idea).
And I was struck. We think about how beautiful and striking literature is, and how well humans can write. But honestly, everyone is inspired by something.
Even pure irony can be inspired.
The son of David, no, not that Son of David, was named Absalom.
Absalom (or Avshalom) is Hebrew for "my father is Peace".
Absalom became enraged with his father and tried to overthrow the king of Israel in a violent coup.
Pure irony.
How completely inspiring.
