Year in the Bible Week 16

Saul and David by Rembrandt (ca. 1651-1658)

This past week has been one of the most exciting weeks to date. God’s heart for his people, and David in particular, are laid out over and over as we hear stories of slain giants, of mighty military victories and help for David from priests and common people. We also read about an angry, bitter, insane Saul, and God consistently intervening with just enough help, at just the right time.

We will start to see more repetition as the bible recounts these major events in more than one book. We’ve also had the pleasure of reading a few of the Psalms that were penned by David, recounting this challenging season. Sometimes a song is the only way to give the right perspective. I’m so glad that we are reading every word of God’s love story to his people!
