Daily Bible Reading – May 2022 God’s Renewing Word of Promise

DAY 15 OF 31

May 15

Introduction

Yesterday’s reading concluded with the LORD telling Samuel to do what the people wanted and give them a king. In today’s reading, the LORD tells Samuel that he will encounter a man whom Samuel is to anoint as king. While Saul is searching for his father’s missing donkeys, he meets Samuel, and Samuel invites him to a banquet. Saul is given a place at the head of the table, the place of honor. Thus Samuel treats Saul as if Saul were already king.

Scripture Reading

1 Samuel 9:1-27

Today’s Key Verse:1 Samuel 9:16b

[The LORD said:] “I have seen the suffering of my people and have heard their cries for help.”

Reflect

Israel’s cries for help (verse 16b) pertain to attacks and threats of attack from their surrounding enemies, and the person God chooses to serve as their king will be primarily one who is able to provide military leadership and “rescue them from the Philistines” (verse 16a).How is Saul described (verse 2)?When Saul encounters Samuel, what is his response (verse 21). In addition to being a judge, Samuel was also a priest and a prophet. What verses in today’s reading indicate these two aspects of Samuel as a servant of God?

Pray

Lord God, keep me mindful of your loving and guiding presence. May all I do and say bring glory and honor to you. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

1 Samuel 10:1-16: Samuel anoints Saul as king.
