God is a jealous God. He does not like sharing. Today we discuss the perfume, the people and the priets God set aside for His and Only His Use. Do you think He might just care how His people live for Him today?
Paul has met Jesus and guess what he does? He starts telling anyone who will listen. He turns from chief prosecutor to chief proclaimer. He met Jesus and his life changed. His life change was responsible for so many countless others, what a testimony. Yet overshadowed by Paul was Barnabas, whose testimony is just as great as Paul's, if not greater. Then there is Ananias who went and met with a man sent to kill him and his. What Faith!
There are 3 a capella songs here all done by me. It is well, when the roll is called up yonder, when we all get to heaven. Yes I love the old hymns and the message contained in them. Then we get to the woman who washed Jesus' feet, she was all about the Savior but His host barely tolerated Him. How do we know that? Because Jesus says so.
King Saul did some good, Saul did some wrong. Here in the end he wipes out one of his victories and breaks God's Law yet again. Saul is sad, lonely, and desperate. He decides to see the witch of Endor, a story we all know2 well, and what Samuel tells him, shakes him to the core.
Really horrific chain of events here. David tells a little white lie, Doeg tells a huge lie and Saul in his madness makes the lie of Dog even worse in meaning. A truly sad day in the annals of the Old Testament.
Saul is officially unhinged, Despite Michal and Jonathan helping David he has to go on the lam. Saul is so far gone he tries to kill his own son, all because Jonathan says there is no reason to kill David. This is truly a heart breaking account of one man's insecurity, jealousy and rage. Yet next to chapter 9 coming up this is very tame stuff.
I understand if the title confuses you, for David and Goliath is what we all know. Yet Saul was Israel's king, Saul should have been the one standing against Goliath. Instead Saul the goodliest (read it again goodliest not godliest) man in all of Israel according to God Himself is cowering in a tent. Thus David gets all the glory and all the blessing.
Saul is given a task from God and he fails miserably, Yet his character is on full display. He disobeys God, he puts his hands on Samuel and he throws the people he was chosen to lead under the bus. Saul is a trainwreck.
Have you ever wondered why the people decided they want qa king? God tells Samuel the people of Israel are rejecting Him, and they are going to get exactly what they want.
King Saul makes a couple of bad choices causing Israel and his son a lot of problems. Really, the bad choices just keep coming from Saul.
Saul the first king of Israel has made the mistake that costs him his line on the throne in perpetuity, within the first 3 years of his kingship.
Intrigue, the sons of Belial and some serious respect and graciousness from Samuel.
Todays Devotional with some personality thrown in
I am finding more and more that what I consider basic knowledge is not as widely known as I have thought.So today we will talk of What is Love.Herein is love, that He first loved us.
This mystery we are not allowed to know yet the one we do know is the one we should focus on.The mystery of the Gospel of the Jesus that died for me.
David moving the ark assigned the priest to stay with the Ark and do what work was required. Required, every. Single. Day.We have relegated God to an hour a week, maybe.How far we have fallen.
How many times have you heard Don't judge me, Jesus said so. Well that is not what He said but we have abided by their interpretation of Our Scripture and have allowed them to silence us.
