Day 145 – May 25, 2021
Scriptures: 1 Samuel 27-29, Psalm 57, 31 “Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” (Psalm 31:23–24) In our Samuel reading, we get a glimpse of the demise of Saul. The paranoid leader does something mysterious and atypical compared to the rest of his reign. He seeks the Lord for counsel. And he hears nothing, then he summons a medium. And he doesn’t hear an encouraging message! The proud get paid back in full. Saul who has had little to do with God, and he is getting his payment in full. David’s Psalms give us wise counsel, to seek the Lord always. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. David says, “But I trust in you, Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’” Declare Jesus your Lord today! Jesus
