“Achish is here to see you.” David stopped chewing his lunch. “Achish..he’s never come to see us at Ziklag. I wonder what’s up.” He glanced at Abigail as he stood. She shrugged her shoulders. David walked out to see a stern Achish waiting for him. Achish barely smiled as the two men greeted each other.… Continue reading NOT TO WAR

UNEXPECTED LOSS
Abishai walked next to David and matched his pace. “Are you glad we aren’t fighting against our own people?” David kept looking forward. “Of course, this whole time with the Philistines has been an experience I never imagined I’d ever have.

Nobody is to awaken David.” A young man’s voice said. “But, he sent me to spy out King Saul to see if he’s coming.… Continue reading SECOND GRACE

A LEGEND PASSES
David stopped when he crested the hill. His view of Ramah blurred from the tears. The men behind him stopped. Joab waited a minute before he came alongside David. “You two shared something the rest of us can only dream about. What’s it like to have the LORD’s Spirit alive in you?” David wiped his… Continue reading A LEGEND PASSES
