“Why do you honor your sons more than me?”– God 1 Samuel 2:29
“Those who honor me, I will honor. Those who despise me will be disdained.” 1 Samuel 2:30
Lord, please help my boys be good men: men that honor you. May I also honor you in all that I do.
Each year Samuel’s mother made him a little robe and took it to him. 1 Samuel 2:19
God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly. Oswald Chambers
Our Lord’s exhortation is to be generous towards everyone. Oswald Chambers
Well said Eddie Jones. I’ve been reading the I & II Samuel this year and there is so much to learn and realize with how God interacted with mankind- and still does. I read Oswald Chamber’s devotion every day! Thanks for sharing!
I love these stories and the lessons they deliver. For me, reading the Bible always reveals something new.
