Refresh Your Heart
Now that you've read through the books of Samuel, we invite you to re-watch the overview video from Day 1. Re-watching this video with a fresh set of eyes will remind you of everything you've learned as you revisit the overarching theme of the book of Samuel: The Cost of Pride vs Humble Obedience.
Reflect
Next, reflect as you re-read 2 Samuel 7:1-17. Ask God to send his Holy Spirit to help you understand the central theme of Samuel - that God’s Kingdom doesn’t come through prideful human effort or political force, but through His grace, and it sets the stage for Jesus—the humble, obedient King whose eternal throne fulfills this promise. It is only Jesus who establishes a nation of humility. And it is only Jesus who can cause every proud king to bow.
What's Next?
As believers in Jesus, we are called to become more like Jesus. This happens as we see him in God's Word (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, we invite you to keep looking for Jesus on every page of the Bible.
If you'd like to continue studying the books of history, check out our reading plans on 1&2 Kings. Or, study one of our other reading plans available on YouVersion. Just search for “Spoken Gospel” in the reading plans section.
Our prayer is that God will continue to transform you and that you will become more like Jesus as you see him on every page of the Bible.

About this Plan
This 20-day plan will walk you through the books of Samuel by reading a short passage daily. Each day is accompanied by a short video that explains what you're reading and how it's all about Jesus. In this plan, you'll learn that God opposes the proud but lifts up the humble. From Hannah’s song to David’s rise and Saul’s fall, we see God repeatedly choosing the humble and rejecting the self-serving - ultimately pointing to Jesus as the true and better King who listens to the Father, defeats our enemies, and reigns with justice and mercy.
