The Circle of Serving
Bible Reading Today: 2 Samuel 19-21
2 Samuel 19:32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
Barzillai was a man who was mentioned as "great" in the Bible. What an honor! The reason being? Because he knew how to humbly serve! He wasn't the knight in shining armor, but he wore the Spiritual armor of a servant! He served David so well in his past, that later on, David honored him & wanted Barzillai to go with him back to Jerusalem. But, the circle of serving continued because Barzillai sent his servant to go back with David instead, because Barzillai was very old. He continued to serve his king through another generation! But what's also involved in this circle of serving? When we serve, others desire to serve & help us as well! God allows us to be provided for when we put others first! We must be blessed and be a blessing!

But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
