When anything feels "off" when reading the Word trust It as a sign to dig a little deeper. Don't just read the Bible "as is" if you will. Talk to a paster, take it into Bible study, pray about it, do a little conversing with chat gpt or even read the same part of scripture across several translations to see if it breeds deeper revelation and greater clarity.
When something hard or confusing happens, How many times do we find ourselves reaching for the phone instead of falling to our knees. I’ve done that more times than I’d like to admit.
Reading 2 Samuel 11 today left me heartbroken—not just for what David did, but for what it reminds me about all of us. None of us are exempt from temptation or falling into sin.
