We continue to follow the history of Israel. We concentrated in the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. We saw the hand of God on different men and on how their examples teach us to get closer to God. We learned from Hannah, that the Lord listen to our deepest prayers, knows the desires of our hearts, and extends His mercy and remembers us. We learned from Samuel that we must answer the call of God and allow Him to do in our lives as He pleases, for what he wants is greater than our best dreams. We also learned from Samuel that when you do what God wants, He “got your back.” He told Samuel that the people had not rejected him but God himself.
We learned from Saul that it is not good enough to start out right, but to do the good and perfect will of God. Partial obedience is not good enough for God; it is all or nothing. We learned from David that repentance is key in our walk. When we do something wrong, we need to recognize it and “cease and desist” that behavior to attain forgiveness from our sins. We learned that the difference between Saul and David was that Saul excused and insisted in his behavior while David recognized his wrongdoing and repented. Solomon taught us that everything is vain if we do not have God in our lives. From a man that did it all and had it all his counsel to us is “remember your creator in the days of your youth…”
