From the Heart by B.Demaere

This post written by Kim Potter ministered to me and I wanted to share it with you because I like it so much  Highest Form of Faith Kim Potter This month, I have been thinking about something God once told me.  I was walking on the beach in Boca Grande, Florida, my favorite place.  Perhaps it is so precious to me because it is often years between my visits, but it remains my favorite place to visit. It was early in the morning; I was alone on the beach. I could feel the warm sand between my toes. I heard the waves crashing softly around me. I saw the scuttering of the crabs. I was walking on the edges of the water, feeling the warm water as each wave came in. It was perfect…and it was silent. The only sounds I heard were the waves and silence. In that silence, God spoke to me. He asked me a question: “Do you know what the highest form of faith is?” I continued walking; I didn’t respond at all. I knew the answer was forthcoming.  He continued with, “Rest.” Rest is an important part of s

(1 Samuel 25:2-44) The whole story is in the Bible Excerpt : “As she was riding her donkey into the mountain ravine, she saw David and his men coming toward her.   David had just been saying, ‘A lot of good it did to help this fellow.   We protected his flocks in the wilderness, and nothing he owned was lost or stolen.   But he has repaid me evil with good.   May God strike me and kill me if even one man of his household is still alive tomorrow.              (1 Samuel 25:20-22)   The Joy of her Father...This is what the Name “Abigail” means.   As we will now discover it she was a sensible and beautiful woman of faith and she was also very wise.   Unfortunately, she was married to Nabal who as his name suggest was a fool.   A fool who could not appreciate his blessing in the fact he had a good wife.   Well, you ask me, how do you know he was a fool.   I can tell, in 1 Samuel 25:25 his very wife describes him as such.   If you have a God-fearing wife and you are a fool, look out beca

‘One day near Horesh, David received the news that Saul was on the way to Ziph to search for him and kill him.  Jonathan went to find David and encouraged him to stay strong in his faith in God.  “Don’t be afraid,” Jonathan reassured him, “My father will never find you!  You are going to be the king of Israel, and I will be next to you, as my father, Saul, is well aware.”  So the two of them renewed their solemn pact before the Lord.  Then Jonathan returned home, while David stayed at Horesh.’ (1 Samuel 23:15-18) David was near Horesh.   Horesh means ‘forest” which denotes a place of protection.   David was protected by God from Saul who wanted to kill him.   Jonathan had a holy friendship with David under God.   He was David’s confidant.   A very rare friendship between two young men. Jonathan was so close to David that he knew God’s mind concerning them and he knew David was going to be the next king after Saul who was Jonathan’s father.   Jonathan did not mind that David was the
