    The Lord is a jealous God. He’s not jealous for His own sake, but for ours. He knows that we are made for Him, and cannot, as Augustine says, find rest until we rest in Him

    God comes to His people Monday of Fifth week in year Solomon thought that he was a chip off the old block, the rock of Israel’s faith, King David.

    Foolish Words, Fierce Anger, And Wise Actions (1 Samuel 25:2-44)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 16, 2024
     | 549 views

    David showed mercy to Saul, exercising grace and wisdom. However, the foolish words of a man named Nabal drove David to excessive anger. The intervention of Nabal's wife, Abigail, brought calm and reason to a situation that could have ended in tragedy.

    The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more

    In the Kingdom the greatest blessings often come after great sacrifice. Titles and position sometimes do not bring what people desire because they are promoted to their level of incompetence.
