YOU ARE NOT JUST BEING USED
Tuesday: January 21, 2020 Reference: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 1 Samuel 16:2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD. Samuel may have been a prophet of God, whose words... Continue Reading →
