Introduction

When Samuel ruled in Israel, he served as priest, prophet and judge. As he got older, he appointed his sons to serve as judges. His sons did not rule justly and so the people approached Samuel and asked him to appoint a king to rule over them. Samuel spoke to the LORD who told Samuel to explain to the people how a king will treat them.

Today’s Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:22a (GNT)

The LORD answered, “Do what they want and give them a king.”

Today’s Reading 

1 Samuel 8:1-22

Reflect

The LORD tells Samuel that it is the LORD whom the people have rejected as their king (verse 7). How have the people demonstrated their rejection of the LORD? What does Samuel tell the people about the treatment they will receive when they are ruled by a king? How do the people respond? 

Pray

Almighty God, you alone are my Lord and King. I promise to serve You always. Reign in my heart forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer Concern

National leaders.

Tomorrow’s Reading

1 Samuel 9:1-27: Samuel meets Saul.
