1 Samuel 29:1

Life is filled with unexpected setbacks. Fear, failure, and resistance threaten to stall our progress and discourage our faith. But throughout the Bible, we see that when God calls someone forward, obstacles are simply part of the journey—not the end of it. In this Bible Reading Plan, explore the life of David to see how faithful obedience and trust in God’s strength enables us to keep moving forward, even when the path is blocked.

1 Samuel charts the rise and fall of several of Israel’s leaders. You’ll meet the notoriously arrogant king Saul and see the ascent of the man after God’s own heart – David. You’ll read of dangerous battles, murder plots, giants and even more surprises in this book.  You’ll see that despite turbulence in leadership, seemingly strong enemies and spiritual decay God is very much at work orchestrating the fall of the proud and the rise of the humble. What an encouragement for us today when we are faced with challenges not too dissimilar to these!
