(1 Sam 23:2) NLT So David asked the Lord again, and again the Lord replied, “Go down to Keilah,…
Day 4 My devotional phrase for today … pelted with joy! God is watering the earth today! Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy. ~Acts 14:17…
