1SAMUEL 14:
Hostilities with the Philistines heated up to full war, and Israel was badly outnumbered. The Israelites had been kept down so much that they were basically unarmed for war. Saul and his son's army dwindled down from 3,000 men to only 600, and Samuel doesn't show up for the important before-war sacrifice.

PSALM 98:
Another favorite psalm! I love psalms where things like oceans, rivers, or trees clap their hands. I recommend this psalm for anyone who feels that we can only worship God with the good old hymns.

ROMANS 5.
Every little detail in the story of Abraham is important. Note in yesterday's reading that Abraham “figured his body was as good as dead,” and “Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life.” Then we read that we must “believe in [God]— the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.” And we will find a new concept related to this theme about death and resurrection later.
