A manipulative servant and an angry man are nothing to the pain of a son who seeks his father's life. David asks a painful but honest question when it comes to the pain in his heart. Can anyone do anything…

Trying to Understand
God has a way of doing things that I often don't get. Just to be transparent I find myself scratching my head at times thinking, "God, what or why are you doing this?" In this first chapter of Samuel…

Signs
Outside of not having faith there is no explanation for having to have continuous signs of God being behind you. I don't fault Gideon, because I think it's human nature to want to be 100% positive you…

God was about to put Israel in a new position of reliance. The land they were to inherit would be watered from the heavens, meaning they'd have to rely on God to deliver the necessities. There wouldn't…

Better Look in the Mirror
I've found it is easier to find the flaws in others before seeing my own. I cannot stand complaining, but wander how much I complain about others complaining? It seems to be stinking cycle that I can…

Be Careful To the Commitments We Make
It seems Israel was quick to jump on the commitment bandwagon, but didn't realize how intentional they'd need to be to keep that commitment. I'm learning it is easier to commit than to be intentional…
