Resume of David

“The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion
and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand
of this Philistine.”           1 Samuel 17:37 Bible NIV

RÉSUMÉ OF DAVID

a baby cub roars
the paw of his Father great —
a stone-cold giant

           the resumé of David
now includes a bloody head

Bette Bavington July 17, 2020 at 9:46 AM The Bible has so many wonderful things to remind us that God delivers us out of very difficult situations if we just let me. Thank you for reminding me. Kim Rodrigues July 17, 2020 at 10:58 AM Thank you, Bette! Yes, He does. We all need that reminder.
