    Rizpah, though insignificant in status, proved to be the focus of two defining events in the life of God’s people. It is from her story I hope we can learn some valuable lessons!

As a concubine, she had very little status nor influential power. Concubines were considered as “secondary wives,” they were inferior to the ...read more
