    Love and Fresh air is not free anymore. Can we love in a such a manner that makes another person better than ourselves?

    A Love that lifts others up above you You must have heard the saying “ You can’t live on love and fresh air alone”.

    The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024
     | 668 views

    God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

    David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more
