Absalom really didn't care about God - he cared about having David's kingdom for himself. So he tried to steal it. He was unsuccessful. God frustrated his efforts.
Unfortunately, Absalom's self-centeredness hurt a lot of people, not just himself. It hurt his family, his father, many who lost their life, and upset a whole kingdom.
Our self-centeredness hurts others, too. Perhaps, we don't hurt a whole kingdom, but we usually hurt our families, our parents, our spouse, our children, those we work with, etc.
Whose kingdom are you building?
