Reading, reading, hard to believe we have read 8 books and now in our 9th one as we go into our 4th week. Again what can one say about how great our God is, and even amongst the blood and battles he is fair and THERE. Samuel was given to the Lord and became a great prophet, anointing Saul as King since the people were so insistent on having what everyone else had. Saul unfortunately gets to high and mighty and let his success go to his head, which caused his severing his connection to God. Samuel then anoints David as instructed of God and through the course of circumstances he becomes king as Saul dies. One of the things David learned as did Joshua, not to be afraid. God told Joshua "Be strong and courageous, do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9. Today that is a very important message for all us to remember, we are in a battle against good and evil also but our commander has given us the above promise and we must forge forward ready to do his will.

Got a little behind, but am catching up, just can't get off track.
God's blessings to you all.
