1 Samuel 8: 6-9

6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”

The Proverbs 31 Woman doesn't call any old man her husband. She has for herself a man who ALSO lives up to the Proverbs 31 standard!

Some Christians were spared any damage from the cyclone that was forecast to hit Australia last week. But other Christians weren't. So was it God's favour? His mercy? His judgement? Or maybe it wasn't any of that...
