ABSOLOM

Absalom

Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King's Valley. For he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance." He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom's Monument.   2 Samuel 18:18

Now ...

It is important for each of us to take time to consider 2 things NOW. Each unit of time, whether a moment, an hour, a morning, an afternoon and evening, a night or a season in your life represents a piece of your life which when past can never be retrieved. It may also be the last unit of your time on earth! Therefore you need to wisely and carefully live this precious NOW!!

In his lifetime...

The direction you set for your life and what you do in this lifetime will not only determine your eternal destiny but also the remembrance that you will leave of yourself on this earth.

had taken and set up a pillar for himself...

If you are busy setting up a pillar for yourself, it will not benefit you nor anyone else in this life or in eternity.

which is in the King's Valley...

Even if you are a King's Kid, your life will be one of defeat.

For he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance."...

If you have not imparted of yourself to anyone, your life has been unprofitable.

He called the pillar after his own name...

Your name will disappear as a vapour.

And to this day it is called Absalom's Monument...

You will only be remembered for your self-centred life!
