Tag: suffering and healing scripture

A lone man stands in an open field, leaning on a cane. Rain falls from one side of the sky while golden sunlight breaks through clouds on the other. His silhouette is slumped, caught between storm and light.

The Cane and the Balm

In this gripping devotional from 2 Samuel 15, discover how God disciplines His children without abandoning them. Through the exile of King David, The Cane and the Balm explores the tension between judgment and mercy, and the quiet hope that follows after repentance.
