May 16, 2024 – 1 Samuel 8:10-18 10  So Samuel told all the words of the  Lord  to the people who were asking for a king from him.  11  He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots.  12  And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.  13  He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.  14  He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants.  15  He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.  16  He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work.  17  He will take the tenth of your flocks, and yo

May 15, 2024 – 1 Samuel 8:1-9 8  When Samuel became old, he made his sons judges over Israel.  2  The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.  3  Yet his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice. 4  Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah  5  and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.”  6  But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the  Lord .  7  And the  Lord  said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.  8  According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are a

May 14, 2024 – 1 Samuel 7:5-17 5  Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the  Lord  for you.”  6  So they gathered at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before the  Lord  and fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against the  Lord .” And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.  7  Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.  8  And the people of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not cease to cry out to the  Lord  our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”  9  So Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the  Lord . And Samuel cried out to the  Lord  for Israel, and the  Lord  answered him.  10  As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel. But the  Lord  thundered with a mi

May 13, 2024 – 1 Samuel 7:1-4 7  And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took up the ark of the  Lord  and brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill. And they consecrated his son Eleazar to have charge of the ark of the  Lord .  2  From the day that the ark was lodged at Kiriath-jearim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the  Lord . 3  And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the  Lord  with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the  Lord  and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”  4  So the people of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and they served the  Lord  only. Oh the Israelites! They operate in such a cycle of rejection of God and then they turn around and seek God yet again by serving Him only.    Twenty years pass before they lament and seek God, putting away their Idols and tu

May 12, 2024 – 1 Samuel 6:1-21 6  The ark of the  Lord  was in the country of the Philistines seven months.  2  And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the  Lord ? Tell us with what we shall send it to its place.”  3  They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty, but by all means return him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand does not turn away from you.”  4  And they said, “What is the guilt offering that we shall return to him?” They answered, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.  5  So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you and your gods and your land.  6  Why should you harden your hearts as t

May 11, 2024 – 1 Samuel 5:6-12 6  The hand of the LORD was heavy against the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory.  7  And when the men of Ashdod saw how things were, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for his hand is hard against us and against Dagon our god.”  8  So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” They answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath.” So they brought the ark of the God of Israel there.  9  But after they had brought it   around, the hand of the LORD was against the city, causing a very great panic, and he afflicted the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them.  10  So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But as soon as the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought around to us the ark of the God

May 10, 2024 – 1 Samuel 5:1-5   5 When the Philistines captured the ark of God, they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.  2  Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it up beside Dagon.  3  And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place.  4  But when they rose early on the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the LORD, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off on the threshold. Only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.  5  This is why the priests of Dagon and all who enter the house of Dagon do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.   The ark’s triumph over Dagon demonstrates the power of God and reminds us that Christ will reign forever. Satan will be defeated in the end. What a powerful reminder that truth wi
