Daily Bible Reading – May 2022 God’s Renewing Word of Promiseಮಾದರಿ
May 18
Introduction
While Saul is farming in his hometown of Gibeah, messengers from Jabesh arrive with news that the Ammonite king has besieged their town. The Spirit of God takes control of Saul, and Saul gathers an army and defeats the Ammonites. The people once again proclaim Saul as king and celebrate.
Scripture Reading
1 Samuel 11:1-15
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Samuel 11:13
Saul said, “No one will be put to death today, for this is the day the LORD rescued Israel.”
Reflect
What does Saul warn the people will happen if they do not follow him and Samuel into battle? After the people proclaim Saul as king, they offer “fellowship sacrifices” also known as “peace offerings” or sacrifices to ask the LORD’s blessing. In what ways has God blessed you? In what ways do you offer thanks to God?
Pray
Gracious God, thank you for all your blessings and for the blessing of your steadfast love and care. I will forever praise your holy name. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Samuel 12:1-25: Samuel addresses the people.
