Obscure Stories

I find the best way i learn is through stories, i can remember them and relate while learning a lesson. Therefore i thought we could look at some stories for the next month from the bible for our devotionals.

The bible is full of stories, most of them from the old testament. We do not study these stories much anymore, they are not often taught. Stories of the prophets, judges, and many others. Inspirational stories such as Ruth and Naomi, brotherly love and loyalty such as in David and Johnathon, and stories of courage like Ester or Joshua.

These stories give us strength, courage, and hope. They help us to better understand the personality of God as best we can. Pray for guidance and understanding as we go more indepth into studing the bible.

2 Chronicles 1:10-12
10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?"

11 God said to Solomon, "Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have."
