Reading With the People of God #9 - Faithfulness

DAY 26 OF 31

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. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you and your king. - Samuel 12:13-15
24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.- Samuel 12:24

Primer:
In today’s readings, we see faithfulness in the midst of conflict and betrayal. David listens to wise counsel and chooses a path of restraint, while Jesus foretells Judas’s betrayal yet continues to demonstrate love and faithfulness to His disciples. These passages remind us that faithfulness includes listening to wisdom and loving others, even in difficult circumstances.

Question to reflect on: How can you faithfully respond to conflict and betrayal in a way that reflects God’s love?
