In the days when the judges ruled
there was a famine in the land,
and a man of Bethlehem in Judah
went to sojourn in the country of
Moab, he and his wife and his two
sons. The name of the man was
Elimelech and the name of his wife
Naomi, and the names of his two
sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They
were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in
Judah. They went into the country
of Moab and remained there. But
Elimelech, the husband of Naomi,
died, and she was left with her
two sons. These took Moabite
wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other
Ruth. They lived there about ten
years, and both Mahlon and Chilion
died, so that the woman was left
without her two sons and her
husband. ...
(Ruth 1:1-22)
ESV
After the death of Saul, when
David had returned from striking
down the Amalekites, David
remained two days in Ziklag. And
on the third day, behold, a man
came from Saul's camp, with his
clothes torn and dirt on his head.
And when he came to David, he fell
to the ground and paid homage.
David said to him, “Where do you
come from?” And he said to him, “I
have escaped from the camp of
Israel.” And David said to him,
“How did it go? Tell me.” And he
answered, “The people fled from
the battle, and also many of the
people have fallen and are dead,
and Saul and his son Jonathan are
also dead.” Then David said to the
young man who told him, “How do
you know that Saul and his son
Jonathan are dead?” ...
(2 Samuel 1:1-27)
ESV
If my people who are called by my

Inspirational Quotes from Famous People |
Aim at perfection in everything,
though in most things it is
unattainable. However, they who
aim at it, and persevere, will
come much nearer to it than those
whose laziness and despondency
make them give it up as
unattainable.
--Lord Chesterfield – British
Statesman Born 1694 Died 1773
The greatest pride, or the
greatest despondency, is the
greatest ignorance of one's self.
--Baruch Spinoza – Dutch Philosopher
Born 1632 Died 1677
There is a sort of jealousy which
needs very little fire; it is
hardly a passion, but a blight
bred in the cloudy, damp
despondency of uneasy egoism.
--George Eliot – British Author Born
1819 Died 1880
This is God's work. Therefore it
must be triumphant. There is no
place for misgiving or
despondency.
