TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD
Absalom Rebelled Because of Pride
Absalom sought glory for himself (2Sa 15:1; it-1 860)
Absalom stole the hearts of the people (2Sa 15:2-6; w12 7/15 13 ¶5)

We must not allow ambition to take root in our heart. Rather, we should regularly examine our motives. Instead of seeking to impress others, we sincerely look out for their interests.—Php 2:3, 4.
