When David’s time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying, ’I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, that the Lord may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, “If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.”’ 1 KINGS 2:1–4 (ESV)
What is Hope Through Biblical Figures?
We often think of characters in the Bible as larger than life, their stories becoming legends. It’s easy to forget that these were ordinary men and women like you and me, with their own struggles and shortcomings. Yet, God revealed His glory through their journeys, as they placed their trust in Him. We can find hope, encouragement and wisdom, as we explore their lives.
