July 12
Introduction
Samuel summons the people for the purpose of presenting Saul to them, and the process he follows is similar to one that is used for finding a criminal, which perhaps explains why Saul was hiding. The people acclaim Saul as king, but some of them question Saul’s leadership.
Today’s Scripture: 1 Samuel 10:24a (GNT)
Samuel said to the people, “Here is the man the LORD has chosen! There is no one else among us like him.”
Today’s Reading
1 Samuel 10:17-27
Reflect
Reread verses 17-19. What does Samuel say to the people? How would you describe his tone? When Samuel calls the people together, how is Saul selected (verses 20-22)? How are leaders selected within your community of faith?
Pray
Holy God, You empower us with the gift of Your Spirit. Teach me to discern Your ways, and help me to be guided by Your teachings. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Church leaders.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Samuel 12:1-25: Samuel addresses the people.
