"These are the names of the mighty men whom David had... Adino... Eleazar... Shammah" (II Sam. 23:8-12).

Reading: Jeremiah 1:1-12 Our meditation is to be on the matter of service and sovereignty, and I think I can best say what is on my heart by dividing that in this way - (1) The Service, (2) The Servant, (3) The Sovereignty.
