Where striving is stilled. Say the word, I will be changed; Where I am dry and thirsty, Send cool, refreshing rain, Say the word'. I believe Jesus is more than willing to say the word to you today - but you must, like the leper, like the centurion, you must come to Him and He will speak over your life.
The stories about David provided the template of Jesus’ messianic vocation, and they epitomized the upside-down value system of God’s kingdom that Jesus was always talking about. It’s a kingdom where the poor and persecuted are the most exalted, and the powerless are God’s chosen ones (go and re-read the famous beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-7 and think about them in light of the story of ...

Jun 12, 2019 · David understood that it was a privilege, a special honour, for him to give to God. He knew that when a man gave to God it wouldn’t make God richer, wealthier, or better. He said in 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 , “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted ...

It has been such a joy to walk through some of the Psalms of David with you these past few months, friend. Together, with King David’s wise words and authentic, raw, messy actions, we have been slowly learning how to live wholeheartedly in the presence of God. We’ve learned, most of all, that God wants our whole hearts. He desires us to take all of...
I believe we can learn a great deal about God by paying attention to all of His different names. Let’s take a look at what the names mentioned in verse 1 translate to: Lord: someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler. Shepherd: a person who tends and cares for sheep; guide or direct in a particular direction. King...
But, what exactly does ‘rest’ mean? Does it mean binge-watching Netflix and chowing down on a tub of ice cream? Maybe! But I have a hunch that the kind of rest David is talking about goes deeper than Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and a Grey’s Anatomy marathon. David acknowledged God as Lord (ruler, master) and Shepherd (one who tends, cares for, and dire...
As I began writing this week on the topic of rest, the Lord asked me a few questions in response to David’s message. Maybe these are questions you need to answer for yourself, too, friend. What is God asking me to let go of to make room for more of His presence? What is the good Shepherd asking me to focus on in this season? As I prayerfully consid...
Aug 1, 2023 · The issue of David eating the showbread comes up in Jesus’ response to the Pharisees when they accuse Him of breaking the Sabbath. His disciples had been picking some kernels of grain and eating them as they walked through a field (Matthew 12:1–8; Mark 2:23–28; Luke 6:1–5).
Oct 3, 2015 · In this case, Jesus recognizes a subtlety critics of Mark miss: the ambiguity of Ahimelech's concerns. In other words, Ahimelech will give David his 5 loaves and now focuses on the loaves which belong to his sons which he is considering to give (or so he thinks) to David's men. 3. This means Jesus is elucidating the passage from 1 Samuel. 4.
