SHCOC Daily Bible Reading

Two days ago (Day 118), I told you that getting a king for Israel was a problem.  Go back and read that post.  I don’t want to rewrite it.  However, today in our reading.  Samuel is giving his farewell speech. In fact, I think Samuel is saying, “I told you so!”  In 1 Samuel 12:19, the people realize that they have sinned by asking for a king.  Their “precious” was not what they thought after all.  Good news, they can repent and try again.  Samuel tells them even though they have sinned they can still put God first (1 Samuel 12:20-22).  Let’s all repent of our sins…our trust in a government or any other human being.  Let’s quit trusting in everything but God and see what happens.
