“The LORD is a warrior; The LORD is His name.”

Today’s devotion comes from 1 Samuel 2:10-11.

“10 “Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered;
Against them He will thunder in the heavens,
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth;
And He will give strength to His king,
And will exalt the horn of His anointed.”

11 Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.” 1 Samuel 2:10-11.
