Reading With the People of God #9 - FaithfulnessSample
Memorization Challenge:
13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. - Samuel 12:13-14
Primer:
In today's readings, we learn about faithfulness in testimony. Hannah's song celebrates God's faithful actions in her life, reminding us of God’s sovereignty and care. Meanwhile, John the Baptist boldly testifies to Jesus as the one who has come to fulfill God’s plan of salvation. Both Hannah and John show us that faithfulness involves recognizing and proclaiming God's work, no matter the cost. These passages challenge us to reflect on how we faithfully testify to God's work in our own lives.
Question to reflect on: In what ways can you faithfully testify to God's work in your life, as both Hannah and John did?
