1 Samuel 27-31; Psalm 75
*Click here to read these passages:
1 Samuel ends on a pretty somber note. The king the Israelites wanted so badly had failed them and
had died, and the Philistines had taken over.
But hope was still alive in the one God had chosen to be their new
king, David. God wasn’t done with
Israel even though they had once again rejected him and fallen so far away from
what He had planned for them. He
wanted to restore them. He wanted
to dwell among them, as He had wanted to all along.
I’m sure when Jesus died on the cross all hope seemed lost. But once again, God wasn’t done! When Jesus rose three days later, a new
era began with Jesus as the King of Kings! Once again, God wanted to restore His people, and not just
the Israelites, but all people.
Jesus died for every nation, tribe, and tongue to forgive us for our
sins so that He could live in and through us now and for eternity.
Praise you God for Your love and forgiveness! Praise you God for Your crazy wonderful
plan! Praise you because You live! Our hope is in You!
