Joseph served in the house of Potiphar and apparently had been greatly trusted by his master. Joseph said that he had been given stewardship over everyt...
There is a wonderful story in 2 Kings 5 about Naaman being healed of leprosy by God. One of the minor characters in the story is a little slave girl of whom we know almost nothing. However, the one thing we know about her is that she was concerned for the people around her that they would know the power of God. I have often thought of her as an Old...
Another beloved story in the Bible is in the book of Daniel. Many people would know the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego when they were put in the fiery furnace. Even more would remember the story of Daniel in the lion’s den. Did you know Daniel was somewhere around 80 years old when that took place? We don’t know precisely when Nebuchadnez...
In the New Testament there is a story of a young boy who responded to a call to do something for the Savior.

Jesus looked to His disciples for a solution to the problem that the multitude was hungry and that it was late...
Regardless of your age you are able to place your life in the hands of God and allow Him to work. God is doing, and will do, a great work in this world.

Jan 4, 2022 · Jacob and Leah’s marriage lasted longer, but eventually Leah, too, died in Canaan and was buried in the same tomb as Abraham and Sarah and Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 49:30–32). Jacob and his son Joseph would later be buried in this tomb as well (Genesis 50).
- David (1 Samuel 17:48-51) When the whole Israelite army was too afraid to attack the Philistines, this young tyke went into battle, armourless, and brought Goliath down with a single sling-shot.
- Little maid of Israel (2 Kings 5) Living in a foreign land, this young slave girl had amazing faith and love for others. Learning that her master Naaman—the king’s army commander—had leprosy, she bravely told her master’s wife that the prophet Elisha could cure him.
- Daniel (Daniel 1:17) Scholars believe Daniel and his friends may have only been eight years old when they stood up to the king and refused to eat the palace food.
- Boy with loaves and fishes (John 6) Some commentators suggest that the little boy in this story intended to sell his food to the crowd—otherwise, why would he pack so much?
