Good morning, everyone! Welcome back to 1 Samuel! Today we're studying 1 Samuel 10--when Samuel anoints and then confirms Saul as king of Israel.
Scripture:
""This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the power of Egypt and all the kingdoms that oppressed you.' But you have now rejected your God, who saves you out of all your calamities and distresses."" ~1 Samuel 10:18-19
Observation:
As Samuel gathers all of Israel together, so Saul can be confirmed as king, this is what Samuel says that God is saying. Pretty clear language, eh?
Application:
The big lesson I got today was this: don't reject God. You and I may think we know better, but we really don't. We need to follow God and do what he says.
Prayer:
Dear God, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to read this story. In all that I do, please help me to not reject You. I really don't want to reject you God, but sometimes it is just so easy to do what I want to do. Please help me, take control of me, and help me to not reject You. To do what you would want me to do. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
