David – a man after God’s own heart – had a dysfunctional family. When David’s son, Absalom, killed his brother, and later tried to overthrow the kingdom, we see how David’s passivity led to worse and worse situations. It’s a tragic story that we don’t have to repeat. If you feel dysfunction in your family or relationships, do the things David didn’t do: tackle issues head on, fight for unity and vision, and trust God with the things beyond your control.
