#7 Perseverance

Thursday, 24 March 2011 11:52

1 Samuel 17 — If you think about it, it’s pretty amazing David even made it to getting to fight Goliath, much less killing the big guy.

And then, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He leaves his pizzas behind with the supplies guy and runs to meet his brothers. Ooh ohh, a battle! He gets to see a battle!

The other day I was reading what Paul wrote when the word “compelled” jumped out at me.

#3 Selflessness

Wednesday, 8 September 2010 01:00

I admit it.

I’m selfish. I really like having my own way a lot of the times. So when I came across this verse, it was a bonk over the head for me.
