Daily Bible Reading — Sustained by God’s Word of Promise

DAY 8 OF 31

July 8


Introduction


In today’s reading, the Covenant Box is brought to the house of Abinadab in Kiriath Jearim. Samuel exhorts the Israelites to return to the LORD and to get rid of all the foreign gods. When the Israelites learn that five Philistine kings are planning to attack them, they beg Samuel to pray for them.


Today’s Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:3b (GNT)


Dedicate yourselves completely to the LORD and worship only Him.


Today’s Reading


 1 Samuel 6:20—7:17 


Reflect


Reread verses 3-6. What ritual act of cleansing was performed? Why was this ritual necessary? In what way did the LORD answer Samuel’s prayer (verses 9, 10)? What does today’s reading teach you about the power of prayer?


Pray


Almighty God, I dedicate myself to You and promise to worship only You. You are my God in whom I trust. In Your Holy Name, I pray. Amen.


Prayer Concern


Prayer warriors.


Tomorrow’s Reading


1 Samuel 8:1-22: The people of Israel ask for a king.
