The Progress of Redemption

Humanity is known for struggling with God. We were created by Him and for Him (Col 1:17), but we cannot fully understand Him. Our generation has a glimpse at who God is and what exactly He is doing through the Bible. The next few pages retell small portions of the Bible through the eyes of children. Some names had to be added as the characters are not all recorded, though most of them are. I am not claiming that these are accurate portrayals of each characters emotions, but only what I imagine they might have been thinking or feeling considering the events they witnessed. My hope is that this shares a glimpse of the ongoing progress of redemption that God is working out for His glory.

Unsure of life, but sure of You, Jonathan


Dear God,

It's funny how Your plans and our plans just don't match up that often. I tend to want to ask You what in the world You're thinking, but then I remember that You created the world and so You probably can handle my life too. 

By human standards I should get to grow up to be king, but I know that isn't going to happen. Not me, not my brothers. Instead, my best friend is going to replace me. He would be good at it. He is always the leader when we play, but I just wish I didn't get in trouble for the things my Dad did (1 Sam 15:13-14).

Sometimes my dad and I fight because I know I won't be king and that David, this friend of mine will be, but he doesn't want to believe that. He wants our family on the throne forever (1 Sam 20:30-34), but I know I have to help save David. God, You don't make sense, but I know You are good. I know You have perfect plans. Please keep David safe from my dad. And give him courage. He doesn't want to believe he will replace me either, but we both know it's true. 

Unsure of life, but sure of You, Jonathan
