IT’S YOU SIR
Nathan paused when he approached the throneroom door. “LORD, give me the strength to do Your work here.” He pulled the door open and walked up to King David.

A DEDICATION REQUEST
Elkanah sat at the table after serving everybody. He looked at his favorite wife. “Hannah, why aren’t you eating? I’ve given you twice as much as anyone else. Don’t let the food go to waste.” Peninnah snickered. “I don’t know why you throw the food to a dog like that. She’s only eating for one.… Continue reading A DEDICATION REQUEST
