Thanks for your response, and your clarification. True enough, we rarely "hear God's voice" directly as described in many Bible stories, but His voice is there, which you acknowledge. Thanks for that.
Thanks for clarification. It's powerful story telling!
I love this story, and I assume it's a true story. I'm curious of the region in which it took place? Just generally, not to name specific entities... Thanks.
Oh, and a great illustration choice too!
We are all sharpened by God's tools, refined in His forge so that we can perfectly reflect His image. God Bless!
Thanks David for telling God's story so well. It's the only story with eternal value!
