Did God Approve of David’s Many Wives?

Isn’t it rewarding when our children or grandchildren begin to read their Bibles and get it? They look into our eyes, silently asking, “Do you approve?� In my experience, such approval-seeking happens while they’re nine or younger. (See girl in blue shirt.)

When my kids and grandkids get older, they still ask questions, but oftentimes with a sly smile and ready to debate. (See boy with arms folded.

“But neither the mountains nor the people can rob you of the forgiveness God has given...unless you let them.”
Mesu Andrews, Love Amid The Ashes

“Forgiveness is like an olive tree, mistress. Once it takes root, it will grow, and it’s hard to kill.”
Mesu Andrews, Love Amid the Ashes

“The messages of a prophet...affect the decisions of kings. The decisions of kings determine not just the course of nations but also the life and death of individuals in those countries. If we become so enamored with our own little world that we disregard the nations, we are no better than those who focus on nations and ruthlessly disregard human life.”
Mesu Andrews, Love in a Broken Vessel

message 2: by Mesu

Mesu It's good, but I had to read it in short spurts. Very troubling images conquered by God's continuous healing. It's raw but excellent.


Miralee This is the next book on my list to read. I've heard very good things about it and plan on blogging about it, as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
