Tag: Samuel

But Only

We all love to get recognition, to get credit for our good deeds. Saul was victorious over the years. So was David. Saul acknowledged that people gave him credit. Yet, they only gave Saul credit for a small portion of success while David was given a lot more credit. In 1 Samuel 18:8-9, we read: … Continue reading But Only →

Hearing Difficulties

I have some hearing difficulties due to medical issues. Many times, I won’t hear something but it is not intentional. Of course, there are other moments when we do not hear something because we have our focus elsewhere. For example, we will be watching television and someone is trying to speak with us and we … Continue reading Hearing Difficulties →

Making the Effort

The Bible says that if you draw near to God, He will draw near to you (James 4:8). This requires effort on our part. That’s the thing about relationships. Both parties must make an effort for it to work. In our relationship with God, surrender and obedience is necessary. This is what proper worship is … Continue reading Making the Effort →

Sacrifice Requires Something

Sacrifice requires something. If there’s not a something, there’s not a sacrifice. David was adamant that he would make a purchase for an offering, that it would cost him something. In 2 Samuel 24:24, we read: “But the king said to Araunah, ‘No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will … Continue reading Sacrifice Requires Something →

Hidden Faults

We are all sinners. We all need Jesus! When we face our sin, we are to turn to Jesus with repentant hearts and we are forgiven. The question then is what about the sin’s we don’t know about? The sins we cannot see? The Psalmist asked God to provide cleansing from “hidden faults.” He admitted … Continue reading Hidden Faults →

Prayers of a Parent

As a parent, life changes completely. Our focus, our time, everything is different. We want the very best for our children. The most important part of our lives should be the most important part of their lives – Jesus. As both a Christian and a parent, the ultimate question that we hope is answered with … Continue reading Prayers of a Parent →

As an Angel

In 1 Samuel 29, we read of Achish telling David that he is “blameless in (his) sight as an angel of God.” Those are some kind words for David. Even so, the Philistines were going off to battle, but they didn’t want David to go with them. They were concerned that he would become an … Continue reading As an Angel →

Fat of Rams

Saul disobeyed the command of the Lord to utterly destroy the Amalekites. He saved the best sheep, oxen, calves and lambs. Anything that was good he kept. Anything that he saw as worthless he destroyed. But God commanded everything was to be utterly destroyed. Saul said the best was spared to sacrifice to the Lord, … Continue reading Fat of Rams →

Fill Your Horn

King Saul was told to destroy the Amalekites; he was given a command from the Lord. He disobeyed that command and God said, “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the LORD … Continue reading Fill Your Horn →
