Ep. 195: Who Knows the Longings of Your Heart?

In Podcast Episode 195, “Who Knows the Longings of Your Heart?” Kim discusses the longings of King David’s heart for his estranged son Absalom. What are your deepest longings? Are those longings for the Lord or are they for something or someone which leads you away from the Lord?

Joab realized how much the king longed to see Absalom. (NLT)

 

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah knew that the king's heart went out to Absalom. (ESV)

 

Joab son of Zeruiah knew that the king’s heart longed for Absalom. (NIV)
