Hidden Bitterness Becomes a Snare

Absalom waited two full years before inviting the king’s sons, but his quiet patience concealed a dangerous purpose. This verse reminds us that unresolved anger can grow in silence until it becomes destructive. God calls us to bring wounds, injustices, and bitterness into His light. Waiting is not always healing; sometimes it is only resentment gathering strength. Let the Lord search the heart and lead us toward truth, repentance, and peace.
