Reading With the People of God #9 - FaithfulnessNäide

Memorization Challenge:

13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you and your king. - Samuel 12:13-15

24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you.- Samuel 12:24

Primer:
Today’s readings highlight faithfulness in the face of opposition. David’s confidence in God leads to victory over Goliath, while Jesus describes Himself as the good shepherd, faithfully protecting and guiding His sheep. Both stories remind us that God’s faithfulness equips us to face challenges with courage and trust.
