“Sorry, I’m going to have to admit you into the hospital for a few days.” the doctor said.

There are moments in Scripture that feel small at first glance—quiet, almost hidden—but when you linger there, they unfold into something deeply powerful. In 1 Samuel 25, David and his men are in the wilderness—hungry, weary, waiting. They have been protecting the flocks of a wealthy man named Nabal. When…
