VERSE:
"Do not be afraid," Samuel replied [to the people of Israel].
"You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD,
but serve the LORD with all your heart."
-- 1 Samuel 12:20
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Samuel+12:20
THOUGHT:
Israel wanted a King. This crushed Samuel's heart and angered
God with the people's lack of faith. Samuel, however, reminds them
that while they have stumbled and fallen, they must not abandon the
LORD himself. Instead, their political concerns must give way to
their total allegiance to God and their willingness to serve him
fully.
PRAYER:
Forgive me, dear Father, for the sinfulness, short-sightedness,
and silliness that I have, at times, shown. I want to serve you
with an undivided heart, cleansed by your forgiveness and the
transforming power of your Holy Spirit. Thank you! In Jesus' name.
Amen.
