1 Kings 2:13-46, 1 Kings 3:1, 1 Kings 9:16, 1 Kings 3:2-28 (2 Chron. 1:2-13)
Ryan: We read today of an event that I have already referenced several times in which Solomon asks for (and is granted) wisdom beyond that of other men (1 Kings 3:12). What I did not remember before reading this story today was [...]
1 Kings 1, 2 Samuel 23:1-7, 1 Kings 2:1-10, 1 Chron. 29:28-30, 1 Chron. 29:23-25 (1 Kings 2:12, 2 Chron. 1:1)
Ryan: Tomorrow, May 12, is my father’s birthday. (And, now that Mother’s Day has passed, we’re approaching the season for Father’s Day, too.) It’s hard for a son not to think about his father when [...]
Psalm 2, Psalm 22, Psalm 27

Psalm 76, Psalm 82, Psalm 84, Psalm 90, Psalm 92, Psalm 112, Psalm 115
Ryan: Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote, “‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Gimli (Lord of the Rings) said, “I have looked last upon that which is fairest. Henceforth I will call nothing fair unless it [...]
