“The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.”

Despite God’s provision, his people still complained. If this sounds familiar, maybe it will help you think about today after reading again this old, old story.

More blessing, less cursing: it’s a Biblical example just right for our quick-reply, social media-driven culture.

His words changed her life and transformed a whole community. Could the same happen with something we say?

The Bible tells us everything is in his hands. Good to remember when we hold too tightly to the life we think we’re controlling.

I don’t know if I can, but I’ll try. That’s a sentence to describe many situations in life, including my goal to write about Psalm 23 all this week.
