TODAY’S BIBLE READING CHALLENGE:
1 Samuel 14:1-52
John 7:31-53
Psalm 109:1-31
Proverbs 15:5-7
1 Samuel 14:3 — The High Priest’s Uncle Ichabod – we’ve met him earlier.
1 Samuel 14:6 — This is an incredible verse – the king’s son decides to go rogue. He invites his bodyguard, and the bodyguard isn’t afraid to die (1 Samuel 14:7). Is it faith in the LORD or just loyalty to his liege? Maybe just the latter but the bodyguard would see how God would provide! Can God provide?
1 Samuel 14:24 — While Saul had good intentions, his actions made it easier for Israel to commit a worse sin (1 Samuel 14:32). We’ve seen earlier that eating blood was forbidden for the Israelites!
John 7:45 — “Why have you not brought Him?” Jesus is superior to the plans and schemes of man. He willingly laid down His life.
Psalm 109:22 — Deliverance is available only to those who acknowledge they are poor and needy.
Psalm 109:27 — Deliverance is soli deo gloria (glory to God alone)!
Proverbs 15:6 — True treasure is found in the house of the righteous!
