After 1 Samuel 18:20-19:24
What happens when
a wife is forced to choose
between a father and
a husband? How is the wife’s
heart torn apart, knowing
she must betray a father
to protect a husband?
This woman, forced
to choose, doesn’t
hesitate. She makes
her choice: protect
her husband. Perhaps
she knows her father’s
darkness, her husband’s
light. Perhaps she heard
the voice of God, guiding
her to protect and not
to abet murder. She pays
the price every choice
demands.

Life is full of hard choices and that is aptly depicted in the Bible. Another great poem, Glynn. Blessings!
