2 Samuel 1

02/02/2026 1 just read 2 Samuel 1 NKJV, and I can see that David truly grieved over the death of Jonathan, but also honored Saul as God's anointed, even after all Saul had done to him. Yes, you're seeing something really profound in 2

1 Samuel 31

01/30/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 31 NKJV, and, wow, what a downfall for Saul and what a horrible time for Israel. When God ended Saul’s reign, He did so decisively. You're absolutely right—1 Samuel 31 is a powerful and somber chapter that underscores

1 Samuel 30

01/29/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 30 NKJV, and I can see why David was a man after God's own heart. He displays a great sense of mercy, grace and fairness in dealing with those left behind at the brook. Those going to fight are no

1 Samuel 29

01/28/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 29 NKJV, and it seems David is in a bit of a pickle. He is set to go to war with the Philistines against Israel. I know he doesn't want to fight/kill Israel, but he can't be

1 Samuel 28

I just read 1 Samuel 28 NKJV. I find it a little bothersome. I have always believed that when mediums speak with the dead or conjure someone from the dead that they are actually demons impersonating the one requested. This chapter, however, seems to give credence to mediums. Or did

1 Samuel 27

01/26/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 27 NKJV, and I am curious. Where was Gath located in relation to Israel? Gath was one of the five major cities of the Philistines (along with Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Ekron), located in the southwestern coastal plain of ancient Canaan, known

1 Samuel 26

01/23/2026 I read 1 Samuel 26 NKJV today. This is the second time David spared Saul's life, and Saul seems to acknowledge what David has done and seems to repent. I find it curious that, even though Saul talks a good talk, David still remains in

1 Samuel 25

01/22/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 25 NKJV, and the big thing that jumped out at me is that David is human after all. I have been enamored with his character and integrity and his faithfulness to God, but in this story I see him seeking vengeance from

1 Samuel 24

01/21/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 24, and this is one of the main events that drives home David's true character and integrity. I love his conviction to not harm God's anointed, even after all Saul has done to him. Regardless of what is

1 Samuel 23

01/20/2026 I just read 1 Samuel 23 NKJV. Verse 6 mentioned an ephod, and I forget what exactly that is. Remind me, what is an ephod? An ephod in the Bible is primarily a special priestly garment (often described as an apron-like vest or sleeveless outer garment) worn
