Reflection on 1 & 2 Samuel

Knowing God thru His Names.

The purpose of 1 Samuel is to
record the life of Samuel, Israel’s
last judge; the decline of Saul
the first king; and the preparation
of David, Israel’s greatest king.
And that of 2 Samuel is to depict
David as an ideal leader of an
imperfect Kingdom and to fore-
shadow Christ who will be the
ideal leader of a perfect kingdom.
This week we understand God
better thru His revelation of Himself
of various names, mostly related to
His ability to meet needs of people.
On Monday, we learn from 1Sam 7
that God Is Our Mighty Helper.
On Tuesday, we learn from
1 Samuel 10 the Spirit of God.
On Wednesday we learn from
1 Sam 17 about the Lord of Hosts.
On Thursday, we learn from
2 Sam 22 God of My Strength.
On Friday, we learn from
2 Sam 22 about God My Rock.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face…In Jesus’ name.
