ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 5TH SEPTEMBER 2026.
An oath typically signifies a promise or commitment made in earnest – a bond meant to ensure honesty toward others or God. When Solomon became king, he gave a directive to Shimei – ‘Stay in Jerusalem or face death’ – a command that allowed Shimei to redeem himself while keeping him under watch. Shimei was initially a supporter of King Saul but turned against David during his flight from Absalom (2 Kings 16:5-14).
Shimei’s decision to pursue his fleeing servants shows how easily one can succumb to personal desire over loyalty, and how individuals fail under pressure. The concern here is how that Shimei did not remember the consequence of his action, which was a death penalty. The reason for this may be natural or divine; however, we have lessons to learn. First, we need to know that while we may have resolutions or plans, we do not have the power to execute them (Prov. 16:9; 19:21).
The power belongs to God. Second, we always need to meditate before we act. We should learn to hold back ourselves and wait on the Lord so that we do not react without thinking. We must be slow to speak and slow to anger (James 1:19-20). Finally, it may appear that Shimei was divinely set up to die, as a result of past deeds. Let us know that the arm of justice is long enough to catch up with every evildoer, regardless of the time.
PRAYER POINT: Lord, show me mercy and give me power to keep the promises I make in your name.
