Final Word
2 Sam 16:12 “It may be that the Lord will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.” Sometimes we can get very discouraged when we take an update as the final word on the subject.

Banished
2 Samuel 14:14 14 Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die.

Talk To Him
1 Samuel 25:17b He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him. Sometimes those closest to us have the greatest insight into who we really are. That can be especially noticeable when we are in close quarters, like right now. It can be easy to hide our true selves when ourContinue reading “Talk To Him”
Me, Me, Me, Me, Me
1 Samuel 22:8 Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.” TodayContinue reading “Me, Me, Me, Me, Me”
Distress, Debt & Discontent
1 Samuel 22:2 All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him. Is this you today?
