GOOD MORNING SIBLINGS! Today’s readings are 1 Samuel 4-8 There is a LOT to glean from today’s readings. I love these historical books because there is so much information to dig into. However, like most of the Bible, there is so much that we can’t possibly cover it on one go around so I’ll just […]
Good Morning! Today’s readings are 1 Samuel 9-12 🌿FEAST TIME! 1 Samuel 9:1-2 Meeting Saul – Today we meet the first king of Israel, Saul. From the first two verses we are told that he is tall, incredibly handsome, and taller than all the others. Well, that is one way to please the folks whose […]
GOOD MORNING! Today’s readings are: 1 Samuel 13-14 Rabbit Trails 🌿1 Samuel 13:4 In today’s passage, one translation says Israel had become obnoxious to the Philistines.

Good Morning Siblings! 1 Samuel 21-24 May you be richly blessed through seeking His Word today! 🌿Backtracking: There is something I meant to point out in my notes yesterday but I got caught up in other things and forgot. In 1 Samuel 18:1 we read: As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the […]

Good Morning, Siblings! Today’s Readings are 2 Samuel 4-7 Rabbit Trails Today we read in 2 Samuel 5:10 And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.
