Daily Bible Reading – May 2022 God’s Renewing Word of Promiseনমুনা
May 17
Introduction
Samuel summons the people for the purpose of presenting Saul to them. The people acclaim Saul as king, but some of them question Saul’s leadership.
Scripture Reading
1 Samuel 10:17-27
Today’s Key Verse:1 Samuel 10:24a
Samuel said to the people, “Here is the man the LORD has chosen! There is no one else among us like him.”
Reflect
Reread verses 17-19. What does Samuel say to the people? How would you describe his tone? When Samuel calls the people together, how is Saul selected? What did Samuel do after explaining the rights and duties of a king (verse 25)? In what ways does your community of faith keep a record of important actions and decisions?
Pray
Holy God, keep me close to you always, guiding me in the way of your truth. Open my heart to ways in which I can serve you each day. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Samuel 11:1-15: Saul defeats the Ammonites.
