Reading With the People of God #9 - FaithfulnessSample

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 remind us of God’s faithfulness in the face of danger and loss. David is pursued by Saul, yet God protects him through unexpected means. In the Gospel, Jesus demonstrates His faithfulness by raising Lazarus, revealing His power over death. Both stories highlight God’s ability to deliver and bring life where there is despair.
Question to reflect on: How can you trust in God’s faithfulness when you face trials or loss?
