1 Samuel 7

I really don't feel like reading right now. I am tired and I know that I will be up in an hour to feed my newborn. I wish that my relationship with God could be such that I truly crave my time with him, but it has never really been that way. Perhaps during an interesting study I might feel that way...

But 'tis never that I feel the comfort that his presence brings or the confidence of his touch. Perhaps some day. Not today. Today I just have to trust that he is here and that reading his word is what he wants me to be doing.

2: Why did they lament?

9: It seems sad that God required. Nursing lamb, so young and a life unlived.  But I know that was the case for Jesus too, and that this is a 'type' meant to symbolize his death. God can only take the best, the purest. Thank God for Jesus!
